“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me. ” (Isaiah 44:6, NASB95) WOW! Is this the book of Isaiah or the book of Revelation? But if the book of Isaiah is the Bible within the Bible, then […]
03/10/2024 Daily Devotion – Are you feeling weak today?
“A bruised reed He will not break And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice. ” (Isaiah 42:3, NASB95) This is one of my favorite verses in a much larger Messianic prophecy. In describing Jesus’ ministry, Isaiah uses the gentle words you see above. Not even a bruised reed will […]

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.” — Isaiah 40:28 (NASB95) I am sure you can tell that Isaiah’s questions are rhetorical. Of course they have heard and known that God is the […]
03/06/2024 Daily Devotion – Is God’s word our master, or are we its master?
“Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, Or as His counselor has informed Him?” — Isaiah 40:13 (NASB95) Throughout his book, Isaiah addresses logical fallacies within the thinking of his people.

“A voice says, ‘Call out.’ Then he answered, ‘What shall I call out?’ All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, When the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word […]
