“For his God instructs and teaches him properly.” Isaiah 28:26 In the midst of this section of Isaiah, God uses an illustration of a farmer; how he does what he does and why. Today’s Verse is in the middle of that picture. What fascinated me with it is its general concept. God is involved in
“Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.” Isaiah 24:1 Judgement Day is coming to the Earth, and nothing Man tries to do, by his puny Climate Change Initiatives, will prevent it!!!

“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 Many are familiar with this Verse. We see it on Cards or hear it on
“In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.” Isaiah 6:1 Of all the Chapters in the Bible, Isaiah 6 is one that has had the greatest impact in my Life. Like Isaiah, I believe I knew
“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 The Ministry of the Prophets of Israel was to declare the Word of God to His People; mainly in
