Isaiah 46-49; 1 Peter 5

In the midst of brazen egotism God calls his people to be humble, gentle and kind-hearted. We can forget this in our ‘dog-eat-dog’ world. We are not to be like that. Instead, we are called to draw on the supernatural grace of God and are able to display unusual acts of love which testify to the power and forgiveness of Christ. And all this in the midst of persecution and oppression. God is, indeed, great in the way he encourages us and empowers us with his love.
