Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.
Isaiah 55:5
The invitation has been issued: Come to me, God implores.
But the feast isn’t just for me and mine, or you and yours. It’s for all. And so Isaiah 55:1-3 leads us to 55:4-5 with a call to all the nations.
As you memorize Isaiah 55:5 this week, Feb 17-23, be mindful that Jesus has set a banquet table for all nations, and ask Him what role you can serve at the party to honor our Host.
Suggestions for memorizing Isaiah 55:5:
- Begin and end each day with a review of Isaiah 55:1-4
- Write out v5 by hand: circle, underline, color the words for meaning
- Break v5 into 5 sections, focusing on 1 section a day
- Ask someone to listen to you recite all 5 verses at the end of the week
- Pray over the meaning of this verse; read commentaries for extras
- Practice using Scripture Typer

- Practice using first letters:
B, y s c a n t y d n k, a a n t d n k y s r t y, b o t L y G, a o t H O o I, f h h g y.

I am reviewing this chapter. When I memorized it the first time, we were preparing to head to the mission field that we now reside in. This verse ministered to my heart at that time and again today. Thank you for bringing me back to this chapter. I needed this time of meditation.

What a beautiful verse to carry with you overseas. I appreciate the sacrifices you’ve made for the Kingdom to go to the nations that don’t know Him. I’m sure God has been honored by your presence there.
