Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. (BSB)
Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. (WEB)
But he lifted up our illnesses, he carried our pain; even though we thought he was being punished, attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done. He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds, crushed because of our sins; he endured punishment that made us well; because of his wounds we have been healed. (NET)

Today’s Quote
He who counts the stars and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting His own redeemed children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature He ever made, or the only saint He ever loved!

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
It’s a blessing when we can speak to God with the confidence that David shows; it gives us great strength in prayer and comfort in trials. “I wait on You all day long.” Patience is the daughter of faith; we wait gladly when we’re sure that our waiting won’t be in vain. It’s our duty and privilege to
wait on the Lord in service, worship, expectation, and trust all our lives. Our faith will be tested, and if it’s genuine, it will endure. We won’t grow tired of waiting on God if we remember how long and graciously He waited for us.

We’ve found the dried-up beds of ancient rivers, all desolate now. But the streams that flow from the mountains of God’s sovereignty and infinite love will never dry up. Generations come and go, but the flow of God’s grace remains unchanged. That stream
might well say, “Men may come and men may go, but I go on forever.”

Spurgeon’s Quote
Repentance makes us see the evil of sin, not merely as a theory, but experimentally, as a burnt child dreads fire.
