Isaiah 60:6 Summary
[Isaiah 60:6 tells us that one day, people from all over the world will come to worship the Lord, bringing precious gifts like gold and frankincense, just like the Magi did when they visited Jesus (Matthew 2:11). This verse is a beautiful picture of how the Lord will be worshiped and adored by all nations, and it reminds us that our worship is part of a much larger, global movement (Psalm 86:9). As we read this verse, we can ask ourselves how we can be part of this universal worship, and how we can proclaim the praises of the Lord in our own lives, just like the people in this verse.]
