THE CUP REMOVED – ISAIAH 51:20-23

A 7 Week Devotional Series

²⁰ Your sons have fainted, They lie at the head of all the streets,
Like an antelope in a net; They are full of the fury of the Lord,
The rebuke of your God. ²¹ Therefore please hear this, you afflicted,
And drunk but not with wine. ²² Thus says your Lord, The Lord and your God, Who pleads the cause of His people: “See, I have taken out of your hand The cup of trembling, The dregs of the cup of My fury;
You shall no longer drink it. ²³ But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, Who have said to you, ‘Lie down, that we may walk over you.’ And you have laid your body like the ground, And as the street, for those who walk over.” (Isaiah 51:20-23)

WHEN GOD NAMES THE CUP – VERSE 22

Many people struggle to name what they have been carrying. They only know they feel worn down, unsteady, and spiritually tired.

God names it for Israel: the cup of staggering — the weight of correction and sorrow that came from God addressing Israel’s disobedience. The suffering was real, and God was fully aware of it.

Before God removes the cup, God identifies the burden He allowed Israel to bear. He tells the truth about the discipline and then declares its end: “You shall drink no more.”

When God names the burden, God prepares to lift it.

Go Forward. God Meets Obedience with Mercy.
