Isaiah 32-37

Isaiah 32-37

Listen to Isaiah 32-37

Good Morning! In the chapters we read today we finish up with "The Woes" and "The judgements." Then starting in chapter 36, most of this narrative has been repeated in 2 Kings 18:13, 17-20:1. So if it seems like you have read this before, you have :)To give you a heads up in your reading so the book as a whole makes more sense. In chapter 40 - 48 Isaiah switches themes. The mood of these chapters are consolation and confrontation.

Isaiah 33:2, 5-6LORD, be gracious to us; we wait for you.
Be our arm every morning,
our salvation in the time of trouble. -
The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high;
he will fill Zion with justice and
righteousness,
and he will be the stability of your times,
abundance of salvation, wisdom, and
knowledge;
the fear of the LORD is Zion's treasure.

Thought for the Day
Hello everyone, it is late and we just got home from Seattle, WA which is a days trip away from us. We had one of my Dr. Appt for my on going sickness. I wish that I had satellite internet, because then I could be typing as we were driving.

I went back and pulled one of my favorite devotions for you. We must get this and live it. GOD is love, our religion and our beliefs revolve around love. GOD is not a GOD of rules and fear, HE is a GOD of love. I know that some days it does not feel like that, but when we are in heaven, everything is going to click, then will we truly understand GOD's intense love for us. GOD has been pursuing us with HIS love from the beginning to time. This is a good story that we need to remind ourselves of. I hope that you enjoy this, I am a sucker for a good love story. :) Have a Blessed Day - Jim

My wife and I were watching the movie "The Last of the Mohicans". It is a love story where two people from different worlds meet, fall in love, but, due to the war going on, the woman is captured by Indians who vowed to kill her. But, before she is captured, her love vows, he will find her no matter the cost, "I will find you"! After her capture, her love bravely walks into the Indian camp where he is cut, beaten, and mocked. He then boldly tells the chief to take his life and spare hers. But, due to a twist in the movie they both are spared, the movie fades with them in each other's arms watching a sunset. Don't you love a good love story?

Did you know that you are reading the greatest love story ever written? And, better yet you are involved in this love story. Your Jesus will do anything for you, in fact He paid the ultimate price.Last night, while talking with my Best Friend, He showed me this love story. You and I might have become a Believer for eternal life; to spend eternity with Christ, but then after you become a believer you gain a relationship with Christ. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had many God's, they did not have a Bible to show them right from wrong, they did not have eternal life, so how did they come to a relationship with God? He pursued them.

Do you remember the first time when you met your true love? What did you do? I can imagine that you pursued them, I know that I pursued my wife and courted her. In ancient times they had many gods, so what made them follow Yahweh? God pursued them, revealing Himself to them little by little, and what they felt was amazing. Thus this love story begins, and still continues today, God LOVES; LOVES you, He wants to be with you forever, He has done and will do whatever is best for you, all you have to do is accept this amazing love.
