Isaiah 4-8

Read these chapters with the BIBLE READER to the left of this post or at http://www.bible.com/.

WHOAH.

That's all I came up with to title this post, because... well... I guess there weren't any other words to describe it. Did you READ today's chapters? They were SO miraculous and SO awesome... I just...

Whoah.

First off, God did some AWESOME things in today's reading. Like yesterday, He hinted to the world (through Isaiah) that Jesus was coming to save them from their sins, but today He REALLY outdid himself. He basically spoke to Isaiah, and Isaiah told people what God said by telling the exact story of Jesus...

BEFORE HE WAS EVEN BORN.

How does that happen? How does one tell a great story like the story of Christ without it even happening yet?

Simple. He was in tune with God. God told him, and he told others.

How cool is that? Don't believe me?? Then read THIS and weep:

Isaiah 7:13-14
Then Isaiah said, "Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel..."

WHOAH.

These two verses were really good at saying "HEY EVERYONE! Are you impatient? Are you doubting God? Don't worry, one day His son Jesus will come down and save you from your sins. You've gotta be ready!"

So I ask you, people of the world, ARE YOU READY? Jesus descended into heaven about 33 years after He was born. But the Bible says He will be back again, to take all the believers into heaven. Like we've learned... the God does what He says He'll do in the Bible. Make sure you're ready for that... it could be today, it could be in 1,000 years.

If you do not stand firm in your faith,
you will not stand at all.
-Isaiah 7:9

PEACE OUT.

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,

John 13-15 Check out http://www.bible.gateway.com/ to read todays verses or go to the BIBLE READER to the right of this post. So Jesus does something big in the reading tonight. He washes his disciples feet. washing someones feet was usually done by the lowest ranking person in the room, it was a dirty job because everyone wore sandals on the dirt roads, plus everyone walked everywhere. When Jesus does this he knows that his time on earth is coming to an end and that he needs to teach his disciples another lesson: humility. We all need to take this lesson in, especially in the world we live in today, sometimes we think things are beneath us to do, maybe it's babysitting your little brother, moving the lawn, cleaning up the house, or something more. But we need to learn that we need to be willing to do God's work in the world, doing whatever it takes to get His message out there. Jesus tells his disciples- "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, s

Matthew 27-28 Read these chapters now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ SLOW DOWN AND THINK ABOUT IT! To me, there are two things that get in the way of making good, clean decisions: Hate, and Love. Two passionate emotions, which BOTH can lead to rash decisions you're bound to regret later. Today is just a reminder to everyone that even though in the moment, things might seem fine and dandy, every decision done out of these emotions will come back to you somehow. Sometimes, we just need to slow down and think about it. We need to take the time to THINK, instead of getting caught up in the moment. I know this is a silly example, but take Homecoming for example. You know, the dance at the beginning of the school year? People tend to live a little too in the moment, so I've noticed. They get mad at people for STUPID things, and they dance a little to close with people they'll regret the next day. I've counted several instanc
