My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. Isaiah 32:18
I continue my deep dive of Isaiah, based on the Precept Upon Precept study series. Today, I continued Lesson 12, moving to Day 4 and part of Day 5, with a focus on Isaiah 32. My commentary notes three main themes:
- God's Purpose: Noble rules instead of wicked ones (v32:1-8)
- God's Purging: Judgement clearing the building site (v32:9-14)
- God's Power: The outpoured Spirit producing a harvest of righteousness (v32:15-20)
The commentary goes on to discuss how "rich harvest and peaceful security can be realized on earth to the degree that leaders as well as citizens are filled with Christ's Spirit. They will find final consummation in the new heaven and new earth."

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God who loves me and who provides for all of my needs, never leaves or forsakes me, and who is saving a place in Heaven for me. You and Your Word are a lamp for my feet - I am lost with You. Thank You Jesus for these and all the blessings You pour out for me. I am not deserving. My sin is great and it continues. 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.
