Isaiah 48
As God continues to admonish Israel for its wicked ways, He continues to provide hope and encouragement - this is how perfect God - His love is present in all that He does for His children. Today's verse serves as a great reminder for how we need not look elsewhere for our guidance and direction.
I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. v17

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. Psalm 37:23-24
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. Psalm 119:105
Just as God led the Israelites out of Egypt by fire and by cloud, He continues to direct our ways - as long as we submit to Him (Romans 12:2).
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and who gives me all I need to know my way. Thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love and blessing. I worry. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
