55:2 – wow, that hit home. Just looking around where I’m sitting in the living room. Why did I spend money on what will not satisfy. It doesn’t say we can’t have nice things. In fact it says enjoy good food. Meaning, to me at least, consider and take into account when purchasing is this […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 53-54
A passage we’re all pretty familiar with, Isaiah’s prophecy in chapter 53 has been quoted, posted, preached many times. But we take it for granted and immediately associate it with Jesus. Could you imagine reading this these first time as an Israelite in that time. ‘what? The king of the Jews will be tortured and […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 51-52
Chapter 51 – When the Lord comforts you, it’s more than a quick hug and a pat on the back. Recently our teacher was talking about the Gospel in Sunday School. It’s so much bigger than just Good News or just another religious thing. It is ground breaking, world altering news. Same with the power […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 49-50
49:6 Israel is supposed to be missionaries. Taking The Truth to all nations. Everyone is supposed to know. Call back to 42:6,10 it says almost the same thing. 49:13-15 God will have compassion and heal Israel but they feel completely ignored and forgotten. I loved this response: a mother would sooner forget her child then […]

Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 47-48
-Chapter 47 whoever this woman is supposed to be she is about to be exposed for who she really is. God used her to punish his people by tricking and trapping them, but no more. She thinks she is a god (v.8, that what the Lord just said on yesterday’s reading), it she is nothing […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 55-46
Ha ha. (45:10) I wouldn’t dare ask a woman in labor, ‘Whatcha doing?’ and yet I question God all the time. He is God, the creator of the universe, He is doing whatever He wants and doesn’t have to explain Himself to me. Yet, (v4) He called me by name and saved me. V22 and […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 43-44
-So many good verses about the power of God and what He has done for us and still doing for us. I think we can or at least I am applying myself every time I hear Israel in these chapters. -He has not burdened me with a lot of rituals, but I have burdened him […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 41-42
God is stronger than any of the ancient idols. He watched man make and then worship what they made and laughed. They can’t do anything. The idols don’t know, they cannot help, they cannot see the future. God can do all these things and more. Yet how much faith did they put in their idols, […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 39-40
After watching the video it makes much more sense a drastic change between 39 and 40. We leave off on the storytelling of destruction we start anew with prophetic verses. I love/hate the way chapter 39 ends. Isaiah has to scold the king about something he would have already known had he been a fighter. […]
