Isaiah 55 (NIV) Throughout Scripture God provided what the Bible calls “signs.” That can sound spooky or kinda sci-fi, but you can think of it in the same way that we talk about signs. There's a sign at the entrance to our street so you know where you are. There are signs at restaurants and shops so you know what kind of restaurant it is. God's covenants always had signs with them, to help tell the people in the story (and those of us reading it later) where we are in the story and what kind of God is writing it. With Noah it was a rainbow in the sky, a reminder that the LORD would never again flood the earth. With Abraham it was circumcision, a way to mark out God's people from the rest. And the list goes on. Today's passage speaks of another sign and another covenant. God's people have broken there side of the covenant, but after the exile the Suffering Servant has brought Israel back into a kind of covenant renewal moment with the LORD. He says he will make an everlasting covenant and proceeds to describe the sign that will tell them when they have arrived. The sign will be life! Just like the Servant died and then came back to life, the LORD is saying that though his people were desolate, he will restore them. Life where there was death, beauty and nourishment where there was pain and suffering. The sign will be a restored people, flourishing as they were meant to from the beginning. Mercy. Joy. Belonging. Forever. ----------REFLECT---------- 1. What words, phrases or images stood out to you in the passage? 2. When you think about your life, what signs can you point to of the faithfulness of God? What memories, experiences or relationships point to the work of God in your life or in the life of your family? And where do you feel in need of living water? In what ways do you thirst for the LORD? 3. The invitation in this passage is to come. You're invited. Thirst will be quenched, the feast is free. And the celebration is one that will never end. The LORD is inviting you to seek him, to call on him. His mercy and pardon are ready and waiting to be lavished on you. What step do you need to take today to receive His compassion and faithful love? ----------GO DEEPER---------- Bible Project: Isaiah 40-66 >> BP Exploring My Strange Bible Podcast: The Meaning of Hope >> InterVarsity Press Selections: Isaiah >> ----------CONNECT---------- Find an InterVarsity Chapter >> Start an InterVarsity Chapter >> Learn More >> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dailyread/message
Scripture: Genesis 9:8-17 With Noah, we find God’s covenant with creation after the flood calls us to a new understanding of God’s work in creation. We receive assurance that when the “floods” of life come again… that God is not in the flood, but in the rainbow hope that they will subside, and life will ... Read more

With Noah and several thousand writers visiting Portland for AWP '19 last week, we cracked the spine live and in-person on a related podcast category: the writer as forger, as plagiarist, as literary Danny Ocean. This time out, Be Reel reviews “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” (2018), “The Hoax” (2007) and “Secret Window” (2004) for a three-movie slate of word crimes. Plus, we’re joined by two esteemed authors who’d never do any of this shady shit — Natalie Serber (“Shout Her Lovely Name”) and Nick White (“Sweet and Low”) — to discuss their favorite films about writers. Be Reel is brought to you by California College of the Arts’ MFA in Writing program.

This week we're watching movies where people watch movies and then get pulled into them. First up we get to see Arnold make fun of the action film in Last Action Hero. After that we head to Camp Bloodbath with The Final Girls. With Noah out on the high seas we decided to bring in filmmaker Tony Wash to give his thoughts as well as plug his wares as he has 3 feature films out or about to come out in 2018 alone. If you want to check out more of his stuff head on over to Scotchworthy Productions and pick up some movies.
With Noah continuing his downward spiral of regret and self-recrimination following his father's suicide, it turns out not to have been a great idea for him to buy a bar: he's drinking a lot, and driving drunk, and maybe hitting someone? Donna's distracted from her usual fussing by the arrival of her cousin Gina -- former Olympic figure skater, current Ice Capade star, and [touches earpiece] I'm being told she impulsively quits the Capades in the cold open and sets to her task of running game on the gangsters. Yes, you'd think that Sophie's departure would mean that's Val's fault, but Val seems to be cycling nice: she's even planning to throw this year's Thanksgiving dinner at the Walsh house! Then Kelly finds a letter from Val, among Brandon's things, in which she counsels him not to marry Kelly. In retaliation, Kelly plans her own competing Thanksgiving dinner, and is only dissuaded from this bitchy reaction to Val's non-part in Kelly and Brandon's entirely mutual decision not to get married when David tells Kelly everything that happened with Val and her late father. Kelly forces a dinner on Val -- interrupting her perfectly reasonable choice to replace turkey dinner with an entire pie -- so Val figures it's about time for her to admit that she's getting ready to peace out in a matter of hours. In the background of all this, Gina's cozying up to a very drunk Noah and calling her bitter mom to shit-talk Donna. David's radio stardom (?) may end due to his latest hookup, because she's seventeen and her parents are pissed. Finally, Steve and Janet are still trying to figure out exactly what they're doing with each other friends with benefits-wise: she's still okay with their arrangement, but he's caught feelings.
