Monday:Isaiah saw God on his throne surrounded by seraphim who were crying "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory". When they did this the thresholds shook. Isaiah told God that he had been unclean and impure. He had lived with unclean people. God asked who He should send and Isaiah asked if he could. Every time I foul up and make a mistake, which is more often than not, I am always realizing I need forgiveness. What I need more than forgiveness, is the power to not make as many mistakes as I have been. God can forgive us eternity after eternity, for He is an all forgiving God, He will never say no.
ReplyDeleteTuesday:The Ten Tribes in the Isles will anticipate the Almighty. The Ten Tribes must realize who they are and acknowledge the Almighty. The Jews bore the sins of others and were blamed for the faults of the Gentiles. The Messiah will be a descendant of David from the Tribe of Judah. Everything can be made better than it is. We must believe in our own potential to do good to ourselves and to others. The thing about describing what Jesus has done for us is, there is no way to describe it without either taking a month to explain in detail to capture every single thing He went through for us low life scum. Jesus went through everything for us. Sin, Pain, Humiliation, Shame, Dishonor, Cruelty, the most horrible things we could think of and then some. Be honest with yourself, you would never do anything related to what He did for anyone.
ReplyDeleteWednesday:God knows everything before we do. Not just a day or a week before, he knows everything that is going to happen before we are even formed in this world. He has our whole lives planned out and what we choose to do with those plans is up to us. We can either choose to follow it or do things our own way. We are put on this earth to deliver the word about God and to praise Him. That is our purpose. When we defy His plans, we are helping our enemy. I am honored God is using my life. If I were put here as a mere pawn, I would accept it graciously and would not think twice about it. Anything God does to associate Himself with us is a privilege. There are those who are not as lucky. I am thrilled beyond belief that I am apart of God's every growing army.
ReplyDeleteThursday:The Prophet relates in this chapter a history worthy of being remembered, and very useful to us; for he says that he wrote down by God’s command what he had previously taught in the Temple, and also that he sent that summary by Baruch to be recited in the Temple, that the report of this spread, and that the king’s counsellors called to them Baruch, and that when they heard what was written in the volume, they brought word to the king, having, however, first admonished Baruch to conceal himself, together with Jeremiah, lest the king should be exasperated against them. And so it happened, for the king, being instantly filled with indignation, ordered Jeremiah and Baruch to be taken, that they might be put to death; but they were hidden and protected through God’s favor.

ReplyDeleteThe Lord told Jeremiah that whoever stays in the city will die, but whoever leaves will live. They wanted to put him to death for speaking this, so they put him in the cistern full of mud. The king heard of this and told Ebed-melek to take thirty men and lift Jeremiah,and they did so. My life when I am at my dad and step mom's apartment always feels like I'm stuck in mud that I can't get out from or say anything to them positively.
