40:08 Isaiah “The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever." (NLT)
Here Isaiah reminds us all that time is passing quickly. What is here today, may be gone tomorrow. We need to invest our lives into something which lasts…eternally. That is why we focus on the Word of God. His Word will last forever! Nothing else compares. Riches are fleeting. Fame is fickle. Appearances grow old. All earthly things will come to an end. God’s Word gives us the only hope of heaven. Enjoy learning it now and sharing it with others!
40:05 Isaiah “Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it together. The LORD has spoken!” (NLT)
Isaiah tells of a time when mountains will be leveled and valleys raised up… a time when the rough places will be made smooth. Then we will see the ‘glory of the Lord’. As we approach the time of Christmas, we will again hear the songs and read the words about the coming of Christ. Yet, we know that He also comes to live in our hearts and our lives each day. We get to experience that always… and forever!
40:03 Isaiah “A voice of one calling: "In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” (NLT) 32:18 Isaiah “My people will live in safety, quietly at home. They will be at rest.” (NLT)
In the predictions of hard times and persecution, Isaiah also gives a glimpse of the days ahead when there will again be peace and safety. Most of us feel pretty safe most of the time. What a blessing that is. So many do not live in that way. They live in fear each day. There is still more that we need to do for them. Continue the work of the Lord… until He comes again! Be a blessing!
32:08 Isaiah “But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.” (NLT) 32:03 Isaiah “Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will give attention.” (ESV) 30:21 Isaiah “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it.” (NIV) 30:18 Isaiah “Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!” (NIV) 29:24 Isaiah “Then the wayward will gain understanding, and complainers will accept instruction.” (NLT) 29:14 Isaiah “Therefore I will again do an amazing thing for these people--an absolutely extraordinary deed. Wise men will have nothing to say, the sages will have no explanations.” (NET Bible)
