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,...

Daniel 9-12 Read these final chapters of Daniel now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ !!!!!CHRISTIANITY MYTHS REVEALED!!!! I think a lot of times, Christianity comes across as some strict religion for church-goers and saints. You have to give alllll your time and alllll your money away to the church, and you have to stay clear of alllll sins to get into heaven. But I'm here to say THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. Don't get me wrong-- it's not easy to be a follower of Jesus. We have to make sacrifices of time and energy to set ourselves different from the rest of the world. It's hard sometimes to do what Jesus wants us to do instead of what we want to do. But all of these things are easily payed for with the grace, peace, and love that only our God can give. Anyway-- I know that there's this myth that Christians have really strict laws to abide by. That we have to live a perfect life, and blah blah blah. In today's...

Jeremiah 25-27 Read these now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at www.bible.com . JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED! It's a cheesy line. But it's simple, and true, and completely supported by the devotion today. The reading we read was about a choice God was giving to His people-- they could listen to Him or they couldn't... and most of them chose not to. But it makes me wonder... if we're given an ultimatum, and we chose the wrong thing, is it right if we're punished? For instance, I tell my sister that she can hit me, or not hit me. But if she DOES, I'll steal all her money. She chooses herself to hit me, so I steal all her money. Does that seem unfair? She knew what would happen to her if she chose wrong. So really, I think that it's her fault. Does that make sense? This isn't a real situation, by the way :) God told the people they could listen or not listen, and when they didn't... there would be consequences. God is a God of justice, and...
