Day 27/365 Bible in a Year

Today during my quiet time I read Isaiah 18-22. I will only cover one verse from each chapter though. SOO much information!!

Chapter 18
Verse 4..beautiful. That's all I can say.
God is watching us always, ever present, always loving. Even in the old testament He was watching out for His people. Pretty cool right? Think of this. Even in you worst nights, the ones where you cry yourself to sleep, think about this. God is right there next to you. Rubbing your shoulder. Hugging you. Knowing everything that's going on because you don't even have to verbally tell Him. HE ALREADY KNOWS! It gets even better after you've had that relationship for a while.

Chapter 19
Verse 20..wonderful. Jesus died for us. God's own creation turned against Him and we were all damned. But God loved us SOOOOO much that He gave His onyl Son to die for our sins, though He was sinless. This verse, to me, is a prophetic promise that Jesus is coming. He wasn't even born yet, and they called Him the Savior. AHH!! Exciting? Even more exciting is that He's coming here to take us home one day!

Chapter 20
Verse 6 sticks out to me amongst the nakedness of the people. God wants everyone to count on Him for their needs, He created us, He provides for us. But Philistines depended on the Egyptians...but when one thing went wrong it was all gone. With God, He is ALWAYS there. Even when things seem to go all wrong.

Chapter 21
Verse  16..WOW! God knows everything before it happens. He know the very words coming out of your mouth even a YEAR before you speak them. Ever since the dawn of creation He has known. In the case with Kedar, He knew that within a year all their glory would be gone. ZIP.. ZERO...there wouild be NONE left. It insane to think that you can get away with things when God sees it all. EVERYTHING! Every thought, every word, every action....everthing you wanted to do so badly, but didn't. He knew the outcome of either decision you made. EVERYTHING that is done is governed by God. He gives us free will to choose. But after we choose he directs the rest of our paths. The choice is laid, left or right? He has a plan for either. You choose one, one thing happens. The other, another. PRAY about everything!

Chapter 22
Verse 16, yikes! God doesn't like it when we put ourselves in His place. High up on the mighty mountain of life. GOD is the ruler. Jesus is the KING! He belongs on top of things. NOT us. So be humble to the Lord Your God.

Amen.
