Isaiah 49:1-7, Key Verse 6
“he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”

Daily Bread
1) Universal call of salvation.
This prophecy in Isaiah reveals God's plan for salvation includes not just Israel but the entire world. The servant mentioned is a clear picture of Jesus, who came not only for the Jews, but for everyone. This shows that God's mercy and grace are endless and meant for all people, regardless of their background or status. Embrace the call to share this message of salvation with others. Start conversations, get involved in your church, and support those who are overlooked or have never heard the gospel. Remember, your influence can go far beyond your immediate community.

2) The outcome of God’s grace.
God’s grace is radical—it reaches out to the forgotten and the forsaken, often defying society's expectations. This was clear in Jesus' ministry, as He spent time with people the religious leaders saw as outsiders. The power of the gospel lies in its ability to change lives and communities by offering love and forgiveness to everyone. James 4:6 reminds us, "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Make an effort to show grace, especially to those who might not normally receive it. Offer your time and resources to help those in need, reflecting Jesus' love and message of His overflowing grace.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your amazing love. Please help me show that same love and grace in my daily life. Teach me to share Your peace and salvation with others and live out the powerful message of the gospel. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

One Word: Share the good news of Jesus’ saving grace!
