10 Sing to the LORD a new song,his praise from the end of the earth,you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it,the coastlands and their inhabitants.11 Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice,the villages that Kedar inhabits;let the habitants of Sela sing for joy,let them shout from theContinue reading “Isaiah 42: 10-17….A New Song commanded!”

Isaiah 41: 11-20….Is there a phobia for the Jews about their future?
Introduction: The word ‘phobia’ is not found in this passage. I use it because as I read this Psalm (remember that we looked at the first 10 verses yesterday) I think that somehow the Israelites have developed an understandable but nevertheless irrational fear of their neighbours! Irrational because God gives explanations, promises and hopes whichContinue reading “Isaiah 41: 11-20….Is there a phobia for the Jews about their future?”
Isaiah 40: 27-31….Soar like an eagle!
27 Why do you say, O Jacob,and speak, O Israel,“My way is hidden from the LORD,and my right is disregarded by my God”? – This asks if God has forgotten His people. I think more commonly we, who should be His people, have forgotten Him!28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?The LORD isContinue reading “Isaiah 40: 27-31….Soar like an eagle!”
Isaiah 40: 9-17….God continues His talk with Isaiah!
Introduction: Verse 9 seems to be definitely the words of God Himself. I think finishing what God says at the end of yesterday’s passage. The voice at the beginning being God’s voice – ‘A voice says, “Cry!”And I said, “What shall I cry?”All flesh is grass,and all its beauty is like the flower of theContinue reading “Isaiah 40: 9-17….God continues His talk with Isaiah!”

Revelation 2: 12-17….Humans tend to be hypocritical! Not at all a good habit.

Isaiah 37: 8-20….Will the king trust God?
The Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that the king had left Lachish. Now the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, “He has set out to fight against you.” And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus shall you speak toContinue reading “Isaiah 37: 8-20….Will the king trust God?”

Isaiah 35: 1-7….The Ransomed shall return!
Introduction: All of life isn’t ‘beer and skittles’, joy without any problems, as we saw yesterday! Valleys have to be crossed, all life isn’t a ‘mountain top experience’! Judgement is a part of life! But the end as God has planned it and tells us today, and tomorrow, has delightfully positive times! 1 The wildernessContinue reading “Isaiah 35: 1-7….The Ransomed shall return!”
