#372: Isaiah 13-21
The next nine chapters of Isaiah concern prophesy against the upcoming invasion of Israel and how the people will be carried off. And you’ll hear more about how angry and furious God is with the children of Israel and how He will turn against them causing Babylon to invade Israel, destroy it, and carry all of the people off into captivity. But again, does that sound something that Jesus would do? The Pharisees were, much… Continue reading

#370: Isaiah 12
The main purpose of life is to have a relationship with our Creator. He is our Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally and all He wants in return is for us to love Him back. The second purpose in life is to be a disciple of His. When Jesus took the form of Man on this earth, He chose disciples, those He could teach, then sent out to the world to share the message, the… Continue reading

#369: Isaiah 11
I’m not sure if we’ve covered this or not, but Jesus the Man came through the line of David. When we get to the Gospel of Matthew, he gives a very detailed list of the genealogy of Jesus. And that is what Isaiah is talking about here, we know David was the son of Jesse, and Isaiah is making reference to a “branch” from the root of Jesse. This is the perfect example of why… Continue reading

#368: Perseverence
I’m in a funk. I’m not okay. My ducks aren’t in a row. I read Isaiah 11 and started jotting down my reflections on it, but I got interrupted and never finished it. This morning I opened it back up to finish, but I just can’t do it. I still love God, I just don’t “feel it” today. You know why? Satan is messing with my brain. He doesn’t want me to finish it. And… Continue reading

#367: Isaiah 10
How much more love can God show, and how much more can we ignore it? What everyone perceives as threat from an angry God, I perceive as warnings from a Father to a child. Your earthly father says, “Don’t run into the street”, “Stay away from the wasp nest”, “Don’t stick things in the electrical outlet”, and our Heavenly Father says, “Don’t decree unrighteous things”, “Don’t perform misjustice”, “Don’t rob the poor”. He is doing… Continue reading

#366: National Day of Prayer
Dear Lord, although we should pray and communicate with you everyday, many times each day, today has been established to call everyone to prayer together, to bring some unity in our nation, and for everyone to set their eyes on you. There are many things we should pray for and many selfish things we shouldn’t pray for. But I know that despite prayer, Your Will will be done. You are in control of all, Your… Continue reading

#365: “I am the way…”
““I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” – John 14:6 What does this mean to you? It is quoted often, seen on key fobs, tee shirts, home decor, everywhere…it’s a popular verse, but truly, what does it mean? To me, it has always meant that if you want to get into Heaven, you have to follow Jesus. You have to worship Jesus, be reverent to Him. I’ve even heard… Continue reading
