“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear not the reproach of man, nor be dismayed at their revilings. For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool, but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.” Isaiah 51:7-8
I continued my deep dive of Isaiah, based on the Precept Upon Precept study series - today moving on to Lesson 19 - which focuses on Isaiah 51-53. This morning, my focus is Isaiah 51 where we see messianic prophecies and the grace of God who is SO FULL of compassion and patience for Israel...and ultimately all of humanity, providing His Son Jesus Christ as a path for forgiveness and eternal life (v8). Several times in this chapter as well we are warned by God not to fear man nor place our hope in the world as this world will wither away and only Jesus and His Kingdom will last forever. See both v7-8 and v12-13.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and and who is full of grace, compassion and patience for me. Your Kingdom also lasts forever while this world will not last - and it is in You that I place my hope and this gives me great comfort and peace - thank You Jesus! I am not deserving of such a God...my sin is great and it continues...daily. 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.
