Praying for you asContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 50 – 52 One the one hand it may feel a lot, yet chapter 52 is probably the more familiar passage in Isaiah. Throughout is God’s reminder to His people both of who He is, what He has done, allowed, but also His long patient mercy and compassion for His people if they wouldContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 48& 49 We are jumping into Isaiah 48 & 49 today. The words of our God whom we worship. These are the words spoken to His people then but they are for us too.

Isaiah 46 & 47 It feels like a shift again after clear words of hope as God turns to address Babylon.

Isaiah 37-39 Aware that it there are 3 chapters here but 39 is only 8 short verses. Also they have an over arching message of hope and lived faith. Hezekiah and his faith in the living God. One of the things he did was get rid of all the alters to false gods. He made theContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 35-36 Isaiah 35 & 36 today. Be encouraged by chapter 35, of the vision of God’s Kingdom. Hold onto this when taunted by the likes of the King of Assyria and his messengers. Note the continued assumption of horses and chariots being the source of power, of protection from a worldly perspective. Standing firmContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 33- 34 Today it’s Isaiah 33 & 34. it’s not always easy, but it is important, to sit with passages that speak of God bringing destruction, of suffering at His doing.
