Jeremiah 1
Inspired thots
The Book starts off well with the calling of Jeremiah to be God's prophet. How wonderful to be SURE of your calling in Christ! That is our FIRM FOUNDATION.
When the LORD calls personally, He equips; He is at our side and will deliver us through difficulties.
God's calling on Jeremiah is so specific; He reveals so much to Jeremiah to deliver to others as well as to encourage His servant. God is very good; He strengthens and raises our faith in Him so that we are not dismayed with the opposition for God is with us.
Hallelujah! Lord, we claim Your promise of deliverance and presence to cover us from all evil and wickedness! Keep our hearts in You alone, Jesus. Amen!
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! :)

Finale Grandeur
Isaiah 66
Inspired thots
How ENCOMPASSING verses 1 & 2! Heaven is God's throne; the earth is His footstool. What can we offer God that He does not have? The only and Best offering is the man who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at His word.
God shall bring forth to birth His glory and blessings upon His people who seek after Him. The Lord will come majestically for judgment. Are we Ready? What a horrible end for those who are not on His side!

Incurring God's Wrath or Blessings
Isaiah 65
Inspired thots
God is available to all peoples; even though He chose Israel, He is "ready to be sought by those who did not ask". He will pour out His blessings upon those who seek Him and wrath upon those who remain stubborn and wicked.
The wise would answer to God's calling; when He speaks, we should listen (v12)
It is easy to be in God's favor but the Self must be overcome to enjoy His blessings; not wrath.
His blessings are manifold to be enjoyed. Life is to be enjoyed.

He is the Potter, We are the Clay
Isaiah 64
Inspired thots
God is always calling for His people who are His creation. We need to be submissive to God who knows best. HE IS THE POTTER; we are the clay. The clay does not tell the Potter how to fashion it.
Our sins cloak us; v6 "all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment." How can we voice out arrogantly? Only be humble and CALL upon His name to vindicate us in due time.
How EXCELLENT is Your Name, O Lord!!!

An Intense Relationship
Isaiah 63
Inspired thots
God showed His love but got rejected by man who reveled in his own glory and self-centeredness until he is in despair. That is always the attitude of man; calling on God when he is in need; forgetting God when all is well as he revels with the world. Sigh!
No wonder God is angry with man and comes with vengeance; but those who recall His faithfulness and repent shall be spared. How merciful is our God in our estranged relationship! What foolishness we exercise to enjoy fleeting pleasures of life from the world.
Let us proclaim His mighty name as our Heavenly Father, Lord, Redeemer and Savior! Let us appreciate the special relationship with God alone. Let us work out our salvation and love relationship with GOD!

God is FOR His People
Isaiah 62
Inspired thots
Indeed, if GOD IS FOR US, WHO can be Against us? (Rom. 8:31) How wonderful that God would PERSONALLY step in to deliver and bless those who seek Him diligently. He promises favor to those who wait for Him as His bride for He is the Bridegroom.
v10 Go through, go through the gates, prepare the way for the people;
Build up, build up the highway; clear it of stones; lift up an ensign over the people.
>> When we GO THROUGH the gates, we ENTER into a NEW LAND! We must MOVE ON; GO FORWARD! not staying still or complacent.
It's the Gates of Trials...
>> When we BUILD UP the highway, we prepare the way for others. It is not for our own glory or contentment but assist others to walk in God's ways.
It's the Highway of Salvation...
Father God, grant me your strength and wisdom with peace to do YOUR Work to YOUR Glory!

What Jesus IS, So shall I Be
Isaiah 61
Inspired thots
This was the chapter which Jesus read when He was in the temple; and He amazed the Pharisees with the Truth. Today, the Truth is with us ~ the people of God. We should aim to be like Jesus because the Spirit of the Lord God is upon us too (v1)....
So as Jesus is, so should we aim to be... like father like son; this is the day to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor! It is a day of celebration with the oil of gladness instead of mourning and ashes (v3). As we draw close to Jesus, we are transformed to be more like Him. How Wonderful! Let us rejoice greatly in our God (v10); "let my soul exult in my God, for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and covered me with the robe of righteousness."
He is the BRIDEGROOM; I am His BRIDE... Praise the Lord! Let us continue to work out our salvation to the His Bride without blemish till He comes...
I like what Ps MC shared yesterday in her sermon ~ Jesus is coming again; it is so because HE said SO! ~
