Good Morning!
And welcome to a new week! I have been thinking about the book of Isaiah lately. A friend of mine had nieces and nephews who recently took place in a Bible competition. The kids on this team memorized the entire book of Isaiah!!! Now, I "think" they divided it up, with each child having certain chapters that they were responsible for memorizing. . . I don't think each one memorized the entire book on their own. . . but STILL! What a wonderful thing to have children meditating on and memorizing!
So anyway, while unfortunately I do not see ME memorizing the book of Isaiah in my future, it has still gotten me thinking more about this book, which is one of my very favorite books in the entire Bible. I say one of, because I have several others that I can't leave out as I love them as well. Psalms is one, definitely Matthew. And I like Revelation because it tells of the beautiful "Happily Ever After" ending to our story. Anyway, since I have been thinking about the book of Isaiah, I thought I would pick for this week one of my favorite verses from this book. I love this verse, because it tells me where to put my trust:
"Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?" Isaiah 2:22
Isn't that good? Can't you just imagine in your mind God saying this to you? I can. Yes, it is wonderful to have loving people next to you that you can trust and that who will help you. Your family, definitely your parents. I even rely on AAA! But all these will at some time fail. While God may use them to bless me, it is not any of these who will carry me through.
There is no one but God.
By the way--my friend's nieces and nephews? They won first place! :)
