Isaiah 22 & 23
Inspired thots
What a wonderful God we have; He may judge the wicked and rebellious but His grace is there to receive those who return to Him! How great is our God who knows our frail frame; He is compassionate towards His people.
Let us remember our God and return to Him humbly for blessings instead of being chided and chastened. Nothing done by the flesh will stand!
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

The Lord Conquers
Isaiah 20 & 21
Inspired thots
The time is coming when the Lord will conquer those who do not submit to Him. Although signs are given, they are not heeded. Watchmen are set in place and they cry out but full attention is not given; their cries are not heeded.
What the Lord speaks will come to pass; there is no other refuge except Him! Those who abide in Him are safe!

Final Outcome Depends on Choice
Isaiah 17, 18 & 19
Inspired thots
Every nation would have to account itself to Almighty God in the days to come. Those who do not turn back to the Lord will suffer judgment while those who fear and revere the Lord would enjoy His blessings.
Such a simple choice; will one and all make it wisely to assure themselves of the desired final outcome at the end of their lives?

The Haughty Brought Low
Isaiah 15 & 16
Inspired thots
History repeats; the proud and haughty may enjoy fleeting moments on the earth flaunting their power and riches. But a time will come when they will be subject to the Lord's judgment. Others may mourn and feel sorry for its change of state from glory to destitute but it is their pride that brought them low before the Lord.
How necessary to acknowledge God in our lives than to live it our way! God is our Creator and Provider in all things. How important to acknowledge Him for WHO He is! Great and Mighty is our God! Days of self glory can pass very fast before the Lord; so the days of trouble before the Lord delivers!

Warfare after Worship
Isaiah 13 & 14
Inspired thots
How awesome the revelation that AFTER Worship, Warfare comes on!
The Day of the Lord's wrath comes on; He will put an end to the wicked ways of man; God will overthrow the enemies of His people who cling on to Him! especially so, Satan!
The Lord has compassion over His people and delivers them in due time; those who are haughty in heart will fall greatly just like Satan who wants to exult himself. No, there is no place for self-exultation!
Only God deserves the Highest glory and honor! Hallelujah!

Praise & Worship God
Isaiah 12
Inspired thots
Nothing BEATS Praise & Worship to God regardless of circumstances and situations; even when we sin and God is angry with us, it is best to Praise & Worship God... He will be merciful and gracious to forgive and accept us into His loving arms again.
What a wonderful marvelous God we have! Hallelujah!
This was the chapter I read on June 16th (Sunday) 2013 before my gall bladder op in Assunta. A reminder to focus on God with praise and worship!

The Lord Protects His People
Isaiah 10
Inspired thots
There is no need to fear when God is with us. Mischief makers would not stand a chance against the Lord for v13 says, " For HE says, 'By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom for I have understanding. I have removed the boundaries of peoples and have plundered their treasures; like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones.'"
v20 ~ those who lean upon the Lord will be protected by Him who makes a full end as decreed. God loves His people and protects them at all times.

The Lord Judges
Isaiah 9
Inspired thots
God has His plans for mankind; He knows the end from the start. God establishes His kingdom through Jesus whom He set on the throne at the right time. Then, He judges the wicked. How terrible for those whom the Lord smites!
It is better to repent before the Lord quickly than to come under His judgment.

God is My Stronghold
Isaiah 8
Inspired thots
There are always parties acting against the Lord but the one who stands firm in Him will be delivered. How assuring for me personally today when I am suffering from acute gastritis.
v13 But the Lord of Hosts, Him you shall regard as holy; let Him be MY fear and let HIM be MY Dread;
v14 And He will become MY sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of DEATH & INFIRMITIES!
I proclaim this in Jesus' Mighty Name! Total Healing in me in Jesus' Name!
Thank You Lord!

The Lord Knows All & Reveals
Isaiah 7
Inspired thots
How GREAT is GOD who protects those He loves; to those who walk righteously in His ways, He guides and reveals Himself.
King Ahaz is righteous before the Lord although he is fearful of his enemies. His heart faints at the sight of his enemies ready to attack but the Lord sends Isaiah to assure. He did not even ask for a sign from God to prove God's promise of deliverance although God allowed it.
>>> We do not ask for a sign to prove God is right when He has said it! BUT when He allows a sign, we can ask in order to strengthen our faith. God is SO good; He knows the weakness of man.

Only God can Reveal & Convict
Isaiah 6
Inspired thots
The start of Isaiah's prophetic ministry; not everyone is called to the same; not everyone can take it. Only the Lord appoints and assigns with His grace and power to carry through the work He has in mind.
When God comes, He reveals and convicts men of themselves; their selfish attitude; their displeasing ways; their rebellion. He is merciful to reveal to EACH his portion and if he hears and repent, he shall be healed. Only God can convict the deceits of man's heart; those who respond will be blessed.

With OR Without God
Isaiah 4 & 5
Inspired thots
Disobedience AND Unrighteousness have Consequences. These come about from living a life without revering the Lord; SELF is king; hence, the decisions of life is to appease the self. Trouble brews for eternity.
On the other hand, when one is Right before the Lord, His favor is upon them. He blesses and guards them day and night with His sunshine and fire. The vineyard is available but is it fruitful? Those who do not regard the deeds of the Lord or see the work of His hands will go into the wilderness... forever seeking but not finding.
Remember, God is Great! Stick by Him and all is well...

The Righteous is Secure
Isaiah 3
Inspired thots
The chapter speaks forth the judgment of the Lord upon the wicked but in the midst of it all, the RIGHTEOUS stands secure.
v10 "Tell the RIGHTEOUS that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds."
Just one line of revelation from the Lord is more than sufficient to still the anxiety and raging storms of the heart. How great is my God! He cares and loves those who are after Him and not the world....

Terror of God and the Glory of His Majesty
Isaiah 2
Inspired thots
How awesome is God! Terror and Glory! The GLORY of His Majesty will bring on TERROR upon the earth on those who do not humble themselves before Him.
GOD shall arise from His holy mountain and His word shall come forth; it is to call man back to God. Every high thing shall be lowered; the Lord alone is exalted.
Man... of what account is he? (v22)

God's Requirement
Isaiah 1
Inspired thots
Approaching this awesome book with a little trepidation; and true enough, such treasures and fullness beyond my comprehension. So Lord, piecemeal revelations please.
Ingratitude costs; it leads to rebellion and routine traditions before the Lord instead of really appreciating Him for WHO He is and What He has done. It is so easy to be self-preoccupied and turn religious over the things of God.
But WHAT does GOD REALLY WANT? Sacrifices and even Prayers do not satisfy Him without a clean and grateful heart to establish a righteous relationship with Him. Simple things in life; MY Life! Not what I can Offer Him but WHO I am; for man must seek God for WHO HE IS!

The Power of Love
SOS 8
Inspired thots
Despite the variety of themes in this last chapter of Song of Solomon, one lesson stood out; Love is very powerful; it is very strong; as strong as death. Love is like a powerful flame which cannot be quenched. Love cannot be bought. (v 6,7)
Such deep and powerful love reminds me of Christ's love that is also the same; His love is not overcome by death as it is strong and mighty.
One is safe in HIS love. No one can buy God's love; He freely gave; hence, we need to freely give.

Uniting Loved Ones
SOS 7
Inspired thots
How awesome is Love! The power of love is amazing with a strong chemistry between the couple in love. Everything about the maiden is lovely in the sight of the lover; the maiden is content with her beloved. A simple love relationship which unites two as one; having no eyes for another!
God's love for us is like that too... deep; strong; personal; exquisite.
He proved it with Jesus on the cross.
v10 "I am my beloved's, and His desire is for me."
What is MY response to one who loves me so deeply? Some play hard to get; some prefer to do the 'courting' than to be courted. Some play the harlot; yet others do not appreciate the simplicity of such powerful love that is freely given.
