40 Days With the Prophets

ABOUT 40 DAYS WITH THE PROPHETS

If the Lord had posted a “help wanted” ad for the position of a prophet, He likely would have found few volunteers. Chosen to deliver the words of the Lord to a stubborn and rebellious people, these men often faced scorn, imprisonment, and persecution rather than honor. Their task was to confront idolatry and declare the difficult truths of judgment to a nation that had turned its back on God.

Yet, amidst the warnings and condemnation, the prophets provided a profound glimpse into the heart of God. They balanced the certainty of divine justice with the overwhelming promise of mercy, looking forward to the restoration of God’s people. Through their visions, they offered a prophetic portrait of the coming Messiah—the Servant Savior who would redeem the world.

Rich in imagery and passion, the prophetic books address vital spiritual themes including:

• God’s Sovereignty and Holiness
• Idolatry and True Worship
• Sin, Judgment, and Mercy
• Social Justice and Responsibility
• The Promise of the Messiah

The daily readings in this book include selections from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the Minor Prophets. During these forty days, we will come to understand the struggles these men faced and discover that their ancient words possess urgent relevance for our lives today.
