Book of the Prophet Isaiah Chapter 20


Book of Prophet Isaiah

 Chapter 

20



¹ In the year that the commander-in-chief, who was sent by King Sargon of Assyria, came to Ashdod and fought against it and took it-² at that time the LORD had spoken to Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, "Go and loose the sackcloth from your loins and take your sandals off your feet." and he had done so, walking naked and barefoot.


(Book of the Prophet Isaiah Chapter 20 verses 1 to 2)


Oh God, my Father, in order to be able to have access to my daughter I am ready to do many sacrifices even if it means going to prison for some time. I am ready to even fast as a sacrificial offering in order to turn the situation to a just way. Amen, even if it takes many years for my aim to be reached Amen. Thank You, Jesus.


³ Then the LORD said, "Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Ethiopia, ⁴ so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians as captives and the Ethiopians as exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.


(Book of the Prophet Isaiah Chapter 20 verses 3 to 4)


Oh God my Father as much as nations are against migrants and refugees and as much as they are making it hard for them to seek asylum in their lands, one day they will also be migrants and in search of Asylum and only then they will realize what it is like to be an Asylum Seeker and the challenges that they experience Amen.


⁵ And they shall be dismayed and confounded because of Ethiopia their hope and of Egypt their boast. ⁶ In that day the inhabitants of this coastland will say, "See, this is what has happened to those in whom we hoped and to whom we fled for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! And we, how shall we escape?"



(Book of the Prophet Isaiah Chapter 20 verses 5 to 6)



Oh God, my blessed Father, we may ask the same question. We may have used all the available resources in order to deal with our problems and remained stuck in the same rut if not ended up worse than before. And so we ask what are we to do if the world has failed us. We are to turn to You who provides the adequate help according to Your perfect timing Amen. God's timing is perfect because He is perfect. All we need is to wait for Him to deliver us and this he will never fail to do. Amen.


I would like to end the twentieth chapter from the book of the Prophet Isaiah with the following prayer:


Oh, brothers and sisters let us give all our problems to the Lord and God my Father, and He will deliver us in His good and Godly time which is far different than our own timing. Let us be wide awake and alert to follow the signs that he gives us every day of our lives by means of prayers, people and even situations from our everyday life Amen.

Thank You, Jesus.
