Good Morning “Humble.”  Today we are in Isaiah 39.The King of Babylon heard that Hezekiah was feeling much better.  In fact his recovery was supernatural.  So… Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon,  sent Hezekiah a letter and gift by envoy.   Little did Hezekiah know, the King of Babylon may have had other motives. Presumably he needed aid for his rebellion against Assyria (According to ...  Read More

Good Morning “Understanders That God is Sovereign”.  Today we are in Isaiah 38.  For the sake of kind of getting our bearings… Most scholars understand chapters 38 and 39 to have occurred before 36 and 37.  Isaiah 38 parallels 2 Kings 20.  Hezekiah is gonna die.  On the surface it seems like soon.  It may seem like God changes His mind and gives Hezekiah 15 more years - in response to his fervent ...  Read More

Good Morning “Humble Repenters.”  Today we are in Isaiah 37.  In yesterday’s devo we discussed the divided nature of our world, our nation, and the church.  This kind of division comes when individuals are divided / separated from The One True God.  In Him we are one and seek the needs of each other.  Apart from Him we are selfish and arrogantly seek to supply our own needs, often by placing our t...  Read More

Good Morning “All In”.  Today we are in Isaiah 36.Israel was divided - North and the South (Judah).  Even Judah was divided amongst themselves.  They “kind of” worshipped God, with ordinances based on Gods law, but halfheartedly.  They continued to intermingle other practices of false worship, of false gods.Hence God used Assyria to judge them; correct them.  Arrogant Assyria discounted the abilit...  Read More

Good Morning “Redeemed”.  Today we are in Isaiah 35.“All roads lead to heaven.”  Ummm NO!  “How can you as a Christian, so arrogantly believe your way is the only way?”  Well… it’s definitely not my Way… it’s Gods Way.  In fact He, Jesus that is, is The ONLY Way, The Truth and The Life.  NOBODY comes to The Father (His abode is in Heaven), but through Jesus (John 14:6!).  The day is coming.  No mo...  Read More

Good Morning “Faithful Brides”.  Today we are in Isaiah 34.Through Chapters 34-35 Isaiah gives us a picture of the universal judgment of the wicked surrounding the “day of the Lord” and the endless joy of the redeemed, portrayed in terms of the “flowering of the desert” chapter 35.The portrayal of the “day of the Lord” focuses (initially at least in 34) on the negative side: it is “…a day of venge...  Read More

Good Morning “Good Trees”.  Today we are in Isaiah 33.“Woe to you, destroyer, you who have not been destroyed! Woe to you, betrayer, you who have not been betrayed! When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed; when you stop betraying, you will be betrayed.” Isaiah‬ ‭33‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬Who is the destroyer Isaiah opens with?  Remember, through Isaiah God is giving us a picture of during and after de...  Read More

Good Morning “Princes and Princesses.”  Today we are in Isaiah 32.“Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.” Isaiah‬ ‭32‬:‭1‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬Isaiah begins by describing a time when a King will reign in righteousness and prince’s justly.  In a world wrought with sin… when have we ever seen that, really?  So we understand Isaiah must once again be talking about the Millennial ...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who’s Hope Is Properly Directed.”  Today we are in Isaiah 31.When you face a trial, a time of struggle or hard times - where do you turn?  What’s your first response?  Lack of hope breeds anxiousness, fear, and poor rash decisions.  Who has the power to make things better?  Some look to the government.  Others to doctors, institutions or individuals.  Still others to their own ...  Read More

Good Morning “Students of His Word.”  Today we are in Isaiah 30.UCLA did a study in which they polled thousands of students over 1400 college campuses.  The study took years.  Their findings overwhelmingly suggested that “spirituality” was on the rise.  However; a disturbing statistic emerged from the findings.  When asked “Do you seek “spirituality” to know what God requires of you?”  Only 13% an...  Read More

Good Morning “Men and Women of Action.”  Today we are in Isaiah 29.Actions speak louder than words.  Talks cheap.  You can talk it… but do you walk it?  For many who have grown up in The Church, the “right answer”, rattles right off the tongue.  Many know enough of Gods Word to enter into just about any debate regarding some of the most controversial theological issues - with confidence.  To some ...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Being Trained Up.”  Today we are in Isaiah 28.Yesterday we talked about producing fruit.  Todays chapter begins a section referred to as the Book of Woes.  It runs from Isaiah 28-35.  Isaiah uses Israel’s covenant with Egypt under King Hezekiah to parallel the future covenant that re-gathered Israel will make with the Antichrist (Daniel 9). This 2nd covenant will mark the begin...  Read More
