Isaiah 26-27 Reading Isaiah 26&27 as glimpses of light begin to enter the dawn sky eventually filling it all seemed fitting. There have been moments of hope the last few weeks but today that hope expanded as we see more of God’s mercy and compassion, of the One we can trust in. He is theContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 25 A very different chapter. What faith to turn and praise God, to have not given up and thrown the towel in after speaking of destruction. Isaiah reminds us in v6-8 God is not just about destruction and wrath. He is the God of mercy, of compassion, of abundance. He will wipe every yearContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 23-24 Not comfortable reading. How do we reconcile the image of God here with the nice loving caring God we want to share with others, that we would prefer to conjure up for ourselves when live is hard. The truth is we need to grow our understanding of who God is, we need toContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 21-22 Destruction continues but not just on enemies but on God’s people themselves if they are not willing to turn to Him, to humble themselves, to lay down their achievements, their resting on the history of their people. It is not enough to rest on our family or church history of faith and faith-filledContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 18-20 Yes more destruction, more of those not following God being brought to nothing. But as always there is hope, there are shoots of what is to come when we turn to God. Nations that were fierce enemies will come together in worship when they turn and humble themselves before the Lord Almighty.  WhoContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 15-17 God’s wrath is real. It may feel hard going to keep reading Isaiah and of God’s wrath. We look to God’s word for comfort when we see the news but we need to know God fully and hear of His wrath against all that is wrong to have hope of justice and mercyContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 12-14 Today’s main focus is 13&14. Chapter 12 though is not long but you may want to read it at the start and end as a prayer as 13 & 14 are not easy reads. God does not let the prideful boast for long. It is hard for us to read. It seems soContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 10:5-11:16 As we journey to the cross let us humble ourselves and remind ourselves that the punishment has all been taken by Christ. There is nothing we can add to it by our own doing. It can be hard at times to get our heads around God’s ways which are not ours and toContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 9-10:4 Chapter 9 are words we will all be familiar with through Advent as we prepare for Christ’s birth. Today in Lent let us read them in light of the cross. He shatters the chain of sin that pulls us down. He establishes justice and righteousness. Sin needs a judgement, the cross is theContinue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”

Isaiah 7 & 8 God shows both wrath and love. We often ignore, skip over His wrath because it is not so palatable as His love. In this journey though through Lent we need to remember we only get to the glorious wonder of the resurrection through the darkness of the cross. To walk away,Continue reading “Lenten Walk to Resurrection Sunday through Isaiah”
