December 1 – Isaiah 1:1-20

Have you ever traveled some distance and in the midst of your travel become homesick? There is a popular song on the radio that speaks of a young entertainer, word traveled and with all the world’s riches, but with one wish—that he could simply go home.

In this passage, the Lord offers His people, the people of Jerusalem, the opportunity to shed their recent life as nomads and return home. And their return home will be accompanied by “silver and gold to honor the name of the Lord…” It is this joy that awaits all of us as we enter the season of Advent.
