ISAIAH

Isaiah is a book full of titles for our LORD.  He is the Holy One of Israel. He is JEHOVAH, He is the BRANCH, He is The LORD God, and many other titles.  These titles are meant to give us a fuller picture of who God is.  He is so great that one or two descriptions are not enough, He is greater than that.  So notice these as you read through Isaiah. 1) "for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength, and my song; he also is become my salvation."  God is all these three things to us and more! 2) Isaiah 14 pictures Lucifer, "son of the morning".  Some translations describe him as "the bright and morning star", but this is NOT what the text says!  Only Jesus is the "bright and morning star".  Lucifer was a beautiful and powerful angel and was the "son of the morning", but there is only ONE "bright and morning star" and His name is JESUS, the Son of God!!  Don't be reading Bibles that mistake Satan for Jesus!!  (What does yours say?" 3) Isaiah 30:15 says: "in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength;"  We can be quiet and confident in the LORD.  He is our strength and He will bless us forever!! 4) READ- Here is a good verse for our lives:  Isaiah 34:16- "Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read:"  Find your Bible, dust it off, and read it every day!  That sounds like a good recipe for success, and it is!  Well, I've got to go the the Hospital and see a member before his surgery.  Hope you have a blessed day!!  Pastor Mike Mutchler
