Isaiah 1-3

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

Today's chapters really showed how God is in work, and how He can work in miraculous ways. I think it's a good reference to someone who doesn't necessarily believe in God... because it's a real miracle and a real prophesy that will surprise just about anyone.

The book of Isaiah is hinting on how we are ALL sinners, the rich and the poor, men and women alike. We all need His guidance and the forgiveness only He can give.

Since I already mentioned how God works through today's chapters (which I'll post below in a little bit,) I think this would be an ideal time to train yourself to look for God sightings throughout every day we endure here on earth. Make it known that the good things in your life are presented by God and are only available through the faith you have in Him.

Now, onto the miracle in today's reading. Please note that Jesus hadn't come to the earth yet-- and there was no forgiveness, really. I guess you could sacrifice animals to be "clean" but there was no person who came to die on a cross for our sins.

There was a verse that hinted that JESUS IS COMING. How AWESOME, right? That God could speak through Isiah and tell the world to prepare for someone who can wipe you clean. In this verse:

Isaiah 1:18
Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.

The world might of thought Isaiah was crazy. Who is this guy he's talking about? That would be JESUS, who hasn't even come to the earth yet.

Be constantly aware that God lives in every day, and thank Him for all the awesome things you experience.

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
