Available to God’s children is a way of living that the prophet describes as “Magnificent Wisdom.” He speaks of a voice “behind you saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.'” [Is. 30:21]

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart … in all your ways acknowledge (pray to) Him, and He will direct your paths.” [Pr. 3:5,6]

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, lead us through this life. We need Your Wisdom, Your insight, and Your destinations.

DAILY READING: Isaiah 28-30

When considering the prophecies of Isaiah, the reader gains a sense of God’s pending judgements for all who violate His ways and laws. Clearly, He keeps record of every injustice and will mete out due punishment upon offenders.

To accept the undeserved forgiveness and hope for the future that Christ brings is the wisest thing we can do.

Jesus said, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” Jn. 5:24

DAILY PRAYER: Thank You, Jesus, for taking away our sin and its penalty.

DAILY READING:  Isaiah 23-27

People don’t always want to hear what God has to say. When their lifestyle cuts against the grain of the Bible’s teaching, they become uncomfortable when confronted with God’s message.

Some are glad, however, to hear what He says. What makes some glad makes others mad.

“The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy.” [Ps. 147:11]

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, forgive us for resisting Your voice. We welcome You and Your entire counsel. We want, above all else, to please You.

DAILY READING: Isaiah 20-22

It’s as if God creates tragedies in the course of nations to hear them cry out to Him. The result of their trials is that The Lord shows up and rescues them. That’s not all bad!

In asking, “What’s it gonna take for America to seek God?” it puts a different light on the condition of our nation. If we can boldly pray, “Do whatever it takes, God,” we have faith that He works all things together for the good of those that love Him.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, our nation needs You. We are incensed by the decline in morality, lawfulness etc. We NEED YOU!

DAILY READING: Isaiah 17-19

As in the description and character of Moab in Isaiah, we see God’s demeanor toward nations and people groups. It’s as if they have their own personality. They are held accountable for their response to God and their behavior towards other nations.

What would be written about the U.S. if a prophet were describing her? Her headlines portray a decaying society.

This is a solid reason to pray for our nation. God can do anything.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, have mercy on our nation. We have sinned. We are in deep need of a sovereign move of Your Spirit.

DAILY READING: Isaiah 14-16

The prophet Isaiah speaks confidently of not only the coming of the Messiah, but of days of reckoning where God displays His power and control of our world by making right all the wrongs committed against Him.

His Kingdom, in contrast, will be set up to bless, protect, and reward His saints who have become a part of His family through the Messiah.

It’s comforting to be a part of His Kingdom.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I am grateful for your plan of redemption and deliverance from the fate of all who reject You.

DAILY READING: Isaiah 11-13

When we read Isaiah, we quickly realize that God knows the future, and that He is in total control of what happens. The ultimate expression of His ruling nature was Christ Jesus. The prophet predicted such accurate detail about the Messiah’s advent that we gain a faith and confidence in the entire Book from cover to cover.

One of God’s consistent messages to us is to trust Him for our future, and to have no fear. It amazes me to know that God is so overwhelmingly capable to rule the universe, yet He intimately chooses to guide and protect my life and those I love.

DAILY PRAYER: We praise Your greatness, Lord. Teach us to walk in trust and obedience to Your commands.

DAILY READING: Isaiah 7-10

Only in God’s Word and in His presence can we begin to fathom the greatness and majesty of His Kingdom. The prophet Isaiah was privileged to behold a glimpse of this glory, as recorded in Chapter 6.

Our life in this present world is so foreign to God’s ways, yet He created it all for us to exist in. As we apply His teachings to our daily lives, we take steps toward realizing how great and holy He is. Heaven will tell it all.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, to live in Your presence and to please You with our daily lives is our goal.  Give us the grace to achieve.

DAILY READING: Isaiah 4-6

The prophet Isaiah identified the meaninglessness of offerings brought before the Lord that were not what he asked for.

As we assemble to worship the Lord, what He’s really after is an authentic gesture from a sincere heart. Each word we sing, each expression of our devotion is an opportunity to accumulate an eternal offering of significance in heaven.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, You gave Your best to us. We reciprocate by giving to You a praise offering of sincerity and truth.

DAILY READING: Isaiah 1-3

A Roman Priest in a time marriage was prohibited, Valentine was devoted to performing secret wedding ceremonies for young couples who believed in the sanctity of Christian marriage.

His last words, “From your Valentine,” were written just before his execution for violating the law. He, in essence, gave his life for Christian love and marriage.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the gift of love. Give us the boldness to make sacrifices for the ones we love.
