Isaiah 29, 27, 32-33, and 22
He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure. Isaiah 33:6
Day 187 of my chronological study of the Bible with The Daily Bible® - In Chronological Order (NIV®) (available by purchase through Amazon - author F. LaGard Smith)
continues with my study of Isaiah's prophecies. My commentary* and the MacArthur Bible Study Commentary (for purchase) both describe Israel's final restoration or prosperity. Key verses for me this morning:
In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword—his fierce, great and powerful sword—Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea. In that day—“Sing about a fruitful vineyard: I, the Lord, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it. I am not angry. Isaiah 27:1-4
In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit. Isaiah 27:6
My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest. Isaiah 32:18
Isaiah 33:6 in particular highlights for me today key promises of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. These promises of course are known to come to pass because God is faithful and God keeps His promises.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and whose promises ALWAYS come true - You make awesome promises and they ALL come true! Thank You Jesus for Your faithfulness. I take great comfort in knowing that You will never leave or forsake me. I am undeserving of such a God. I worry and I have other sins. 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 love me. 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.
