Isaiah 55:6-11

“Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon the Lord while he is near…”

I believe the Lord gives us several opportunities each day to serve him; at least that's the way it is in my life. I first have to notice the opportunity, and then be willingly to respond to it. Open yourself now to the Lord and ask God to open your eyes to the opportunities that are coming your way.

Isaiah 63:16-64:8

“We have long been like those whom you do not rule, like those not called by your name.”

Advent is a time for confession. We confess so that we can become the clay that God is able to mold for God’s purposes. Today is your day to confess your shortcomings in the hope God will “tear open the heavens and come down” and we can become putty in his hands.

Isaiah 40:1-11

Isaiah 40:1-11

“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”

The people of Israel thought the reason for their predicament was their sinfulness. Now God tells them through Isaiah that God was making an unhindered path to him. As Paul would write centuries later, “nothing can separate us from the Lord.” Paul believed John the Baptist when he repeated Isaiah’s promise as he introduced Jesus to the world. In Jesus, there is no valley low enough or mountain high enough that can keep God from us.

10 and 10 for the Week of November 28, 2011

This week we will be reading some of the messianic prophesies in the Old Testament. They show Israel’s deep desire for God’s intervention in their lives. Most of these scriptures find Israel and Judah in a time of exile from the Promised Land. The people felt far from the Lord’s presence and a sense of hopelessness had overshadowed their lives. Listen to the emotion in these verses and ask yourself how it is you long for the presence and hope of the Lord.

Isaiah 11:1-10

“The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.”

How we long for this kind of peace. Peace in the world. Peace in our families. Peace within our own soul. The scripture begins by stating the messiah will be an offspring of Jesse, David’s father, and his reign will be one of justice and righteousness. In verse 11, Isaiah writes, “…the Lord will extend his hand….” How is the Lord reaching out to you? How are you attempting to grab a hold of the Lord’s hand?

Isaiah 6:1-8

Isaiah 6:1-8

“Here am I! Send me.”

I enjoy reading the calling events of those in the Bible. In that moment of conviction and certainty they are ready to do anything for the Lord. Of course, in just a few verses, we will find their spirit has waned and they are struggling with faith. This is the rhythm of faith and we all experience it. That is why it is so important to respond to the Lord’s calling in those moments of certainty. The opportunity will be fleeting.

Isaiah 43:15-21

“Behold I am doing a new thing…”

You are probably getting the hint by now that this is one of my favorite scriptures. We tend to try to box God up in a pretty little package. We figure if we can contain God, we are better able control the way God is in our lives. Aren’t we a silly part of God’s creation? As Isaiah realized, God is always creating, always doing a new thing. Watch for the new things God is doing in your life and, whenever you think you’ve got God all figured out, you might just want to think again.

Isaiah 43:13

Isaiah 43:13

“I am God…there is none who can deliver from my hand.”

Singing during our service last Sunday, “No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from his hand,” sent chills down my spine. God does have me in the palm of his hand. Why do I fear?
