VERSE: Isaiah 50:10–Who among you that fears the Lord, that obeys the voice of His servant, that walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. TRUTH: Isaiah asks a question, “If you fear God and obey Him are you ever walking in darkness?” The answer, “No!” God is light if we trust in Him and obey Him, He directs our paths and help us to rely on Him. The Lord is the One who leads us and guides us and gives direction to our path. Will we trust and obey Him in every area of our life…

VERSE: Isaiah 49:6–He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations so that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” TRUTH: God’s plans are always bigger and farther reaching than we can imagine. His designs for us involve reaching the entire earth with the message of His glory and plan of salvation. Are we guilty of thinking too small? We must be willing to move and go according to God’s plan. RESPONSE: Lord, You are bigger and…

VERSE: Isaiah 48:9–For the sake of My name I delay My wrath, and for My praise I restrain it for you in order not to cut you off. TRUTH: Why doesn’t God immediately punish sin and wickedness? He delays because of His name and for His praise. The Lord demonstrates mercy when dealing with us and instead of immediately judging our wrong doings and as a result wiping us off the earth, He delays because He knows what will give Him the most glory and praise. When we repent from our wrongs and turn to Him, He is the One to receive the glory and praise. Are we using this…

VERSE: Isaiah 47:10–“You felt secure in your wickedness and said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you; for you have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one besides me.'” TRUTH: Isaiah is explaining judgment that is coming for Babylon, yet the attitudes and the arrogance that accompanies their sin sounds very familiar. They thought their sin was done in secret. They had deluded themselves into thinking that they were the most important person, instead of God. Do these statements describe us? Do we think we are alone when we sin? God sees everything we do and He is the One who…

VERSE: Isaiah 46:10–Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which have not been done, saying, ‘My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure.’ TRUTH: God is good and gracious and He is over all things. Here God is declaring that His purpose is the only one that matters. He will do all that He desires to do. Nothing will stand in the way of His good pleasure. When things come up in our life that we were not expecting, God is not surprised. More than that, God’s purpose is not in jeopardy because of these “unexpected” issues. He will continue to…

VERSE: Isaiah 45:23–I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness and will not turn back, that to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. TRUTH: God swears by Himself because there is nothing higher or greater. He knows that at some point every knee will bow and tongue confess His glory because there will come a point when His full glory will be revealed to all people. Once we see God in His full glory, we will recognize the power and awesomeness of who He is. RESPONSE: Lord, I know that You are greater than I can even fathom in…

VERSE: Isaiah 44:22–I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud and your sins like a heavy mist. Return to me for I have redeemed You. TRUTH: God forgives us, cleanses us, and redeems us when we return to Him. We do not have to worry that we have done something too bad for God to overcome. God has power over sin. RESPONSE: Lord, You are indeed more powerful than any sins we have committed. You are able to restore us to You no matter what is going on. You have redeemed me and I am Yours. EXTRA:Today is Sunday, so head on over to the Sisters in Cahoots…

VERSE: Isaiah 43:10– “You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.” TRUTH: We were chosen to be witnesses of who God is. God reveals Himself to us for a purpose: so that people may know and believe in who God is. God is over all things and He is greater than any god. Not only are we to trust in Him, but we are to bear witness of who He is to others. We have been…

VERSE: Isaiah 42:7–To open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon and those who dwell in darkness from the prison. TRUTH: God sent His Son Jesus Christ to the world with a specific purpose. He came because we are blind, imprisoned, and in darkness without Him. We can do nothing apart from Him because we are helpless without Him. Jesus Christ is the One true Savior who can free us from the prison in which sin has chained us.RESPONSE: Lord, You have set me free. I will not live my life like a blind person who is imprisoned. You have set me free and given me sight as a result…
