Today we will reflect on Isaiah 56:1-8, A House of Prayer for All Nations. This will be our annual prayer service and will incorporate prayers for various topics. In this passage from Isaiah, the Lord ties together justice and righteousness with keeping the Sabbath. Worship and right living go hand in hand in the Christian life. God is calling not only the Jews, but people from all nations to be his people and come to his temple, a house of prayer for all nations and peoples. This is an echo back to God calling Abraham and telling him that his family will be a blessing to all nations.
