S3E075-Isaiah 56–61: Wake Up, Beloved
This episode of Lifespring! One Year Bible Rewind (Season 3, Episode 74) features Scripture readings from Isaiah 56–61, followed by Steve Webb’s commentary, a Verse of the Day (Isaiah 61:10), On This Date in Church History, and a time for praises and prayer requests. The central theme is a wake-up call to God’s people: real justice, real repentance, and real hope grounded in the Lord’s saving work.
Episode Title: Wake Up, Beloved
Happy New Year, beloved. Today’s reading is Isaiah 56–61, and it carries both a warning and a promise. God exposes leaders who are asleep at the wheel and people who substitute empty religion for obedience. Then, in mercy, He speaks comfort to the humble and brokenhearted and promises peace, real peace, to those far and near. If you have ever wondered whether God is paying attention, this passage answers with both correction and hope.
After the reading, I share a few thoughts, and the “wake up” theme lands hard, especially when we consider how easily we can drift into comfort while the world around us sinks. I was reminded of Keith Green’s Asleep in the Light, and the warning feels timely. God does not merely call us to feel bad, He calls us to return, to obey, to love what He loves, and to live awake.
