“Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, a people in whose heart is My law; Do not fear the reproach of man, nor be dismayed at their revilings.” Isaiah 51:7
Isaiah is such a fascinating Book. The language at times is overwhelming as God reveals to us the truth regarding the Messiah and His undying love for His People. Here is such a passage. Those that “know righteousness” and “in whose heart is My law” is New Covenant language. Isaiah is speaking about The Church! And what does He say to us? “Do not fear the reproach of man”!
For the last several Chapters God has been reconfirming His Love, His Power, and His Salvation to His People. Today’s Verse is a natural culmination of those reminders. Don’t Fear Man!!! What a Great God we serve and what a Great Reminder to each of us as we continue on that Narrow Road that leads to Life.
