Isaiah 63-66

Summarize what you read in one paragraph:

Throughout the chapters I read God is retelling the story of how His people were given many blessings and grace and how they continued to disobey and shun the words God had given them.Throughout all the disobedience from His people, God continues to share His desire for His people. God remained fixed on wanting “US” to be with Him. Even though His people continue the way of sin, God gives a new prophecy, a new promised land is proclaimed, a new heaven and a new earth.

What is one key verse?

Isaiah 64:4

“Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.”

How does what you read change your vision of God?

 What I read did not necessarily change my vision of God but reaffirmed the consistent and constant love God has for me. It also reminds me that my actions or inaction have consequences, all seen by God. 

How does what you read change your vision of yourself or others?

Verse 64:4 changes my vision for my self by being a reminder for my heart that God is always with me, unchanging and steadfast.  I tend to be anxious by nature, especially right now because life is so unsure and unstable. Knowing that God is acting on my behalf gives me peace. 

How will you Go With God because of this reading? ( What is an action step?)

Personally I am going to memorize this scripture so that I allow my heart to be reminded about God’s nature, that He acts on my behalf, that I am not living this life alone.

Where did you see Jesus in these chapters? (What made you think of Jesus?)

Isaiah 63:1 “ Who is this robed in splendor, striding forward in greatness of his strength?  “It is I, proclaiming victory, mighty to save.” This scripture reminds me of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday just days before He gave his life for ours, to save us!
