“Then I said, ‘Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.’” (Isaiah 6:5, NASB95) Today, we see Isaiah’s reaction to seeing God on His throne in the heavenly realm. “Woe is […]
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.” (Isaiah 1:18, NASB95) In this verse, God’s grace is depicted as a stain remover. Sin has permanently stained our lives. There are no […]
“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.” (Isaiah 1:16-17, NASB95) There it is again! God’s grace and mercy.

“’An ox knows its owner, and a donkey its master’s manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.’” (Isaiah 1:3, NASB95) The book of Isaiah has often been called the Bible within the Bible. It has 66 chapters and is divided 39 and 27 (thematically), just like the Scriptures. If you are not […]
“Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!” “ (Exodus 33:18, NASB95) What a request! What an awesome request! “Lord, I want to see you.” Moses had heard God’s voice ever since his experience at the burning bush. He had heard directly from God for quite some time now. He had heard and seen […]
“Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, ‘The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the […]
“Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. “They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them.
