5/18/2022

0 Comments

 
Isaiah 12 & 13 - Day 503 (link to today's reading)

Scripture: Isaiah 13:11

Observation: Isaiah's prophesy foretells Babylon's coming destruction because of their evil ways.

Application: Are we any different than Babylon or the other empires of the past?  

Prayer: Lord have mercy on me/us, for our sins...

Isaiah 11 - Day 502

Isaiah 11 - Day 502 (link to today's reading)

Scripture: Isaiah 11:1-2

Commentary (gotquestions.org): The Hebrew ruach means “wind,” “breath,” or “spirit”...God used the phrase Ruach Yahweh in His promise that the Messiah would be empowered by the Holy Spirit: “The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD” (Isaiah 11:2; see also Isaiah 42:1). This prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus; at His baptism in the Jordan River, John saw “the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him” (Matthew 3:16).

Application: The Holy Spirit is often misunderstood in our Christian churches today.  The Holy Spirit is God and we should welcome Him/Her into our lives.

Prayer: Holy Spirit You are welcome here
Come flood this place
And fill the atmosphere
Your glory God
Is what our hearts long for
To be overcome
By Your presence, Lord

Isaiah 10 - Day 501

Isaiah 10 - Day 501 (link to today's reading)

Scripture: Isaiah 10:1

Commentary (preceptaustin.org): The Assyrian thought that he was acting on his own impulse, and in his pride congratulated himself on his exploits. The prophet reminded him that it was not so. He was only an axe, a saw, a rod, in the hand of the Eternal God whose supremacy he was inclined to challenge and set at nought.


Application: God will accomplish what He has planned from the beginning, with every resource that is available to Him.

Prayer: Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done...

Isaiah 9 - Day 500

Isaiah 9 - Day 500 (link to today's reading)

Scripture: Isaiah 9:6-7

Commentary (myjewishlearning.com): The idea that a human being–the Messiah–will help usher in the redemption of the Jewish people has roots in the Bible. However, Jewish sources have not, as a general rule, focused attention on the specific personal qualities of the Messiah. Images of the Messiah as humble or as a child are juxtaposed with images of a victorious and wise ruler–perhaps contrasting Israel’s current, unredeemed state and the prophetic vision of the future. In recent times, some Jews have “democratized” the concept of the Messiah, seeing the process of, or the preparation for, redemption in the actions of regular people.


Application: The Israelites were not willing to believe and missed Jesus.  In doing so they have transferred their hope to something or someone more relatable.

Prayer: Lord, help my unbelief...

Isaiah 8 - Day 499

Isaiah 8 - Day 499 (link to today's reading)

Scripture: Isaiah 8:13

Commentary: Regard as holy (06942) (qadash) means to set apart for a specific use by some agency. To consecrate, separate, set apart a person or thing from all common or secular purposes to some religious use. Everything consecrated to God was separated from all profane use. In the present context clearly God is Holy so we can't make Him more holy. But the charge is to think of Him as holy, remembering that the way one thinks affects (or at least should affect) the way one behaves! If we regard Jehovah as holy, we will seek to live in a holy or set apart way even as He is holy (cp 1Pe 1:15, 16-note).


Application: God invites us into a relationship with Him.  However, because He is Holy and we are not, we can't approach Him.  Jesus is the lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world, by sacrificing himself to pay our debt.

Prayer: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord almighty...
