Bible, journal, and coffee set the stage for my morning devotions. Expectancy for spiritual nourishment permeates the atmosphere. Fellowship with Jesus never disappoints.
Recently, God’s Commitment, Character, and Comfort emerged afresh as I read through The Book of Isaiah. Consider these riches lifted from the bounty of 66 chapters.
9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
26:3 Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You.
28:16 A precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed.
Isaiah 33:2b O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning our salvation in time of distress.
33:6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom
40:31but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
63:7 I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the Lord has done for us
65:24 Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.
55: 2 Listen, listen to me and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
And this one just blows me away:
Isaiah 26:8b Your glory and renown are the desire of our hearts.
