Mon.’s Devo - Isaiah’s Book to the Church

Read: Is. 1:1-2:22; 2 Co. 10:1-18; Ps. 52:1-9; Pr. 22:26-27 The book of Isaiah is laid out like the Bible. The first 39 chapters coincide with the Old Testament and are filled with judgement of sin. The last 27 chapters coincide with the New Testament and are a message of hope. Isaiah spoke to the house of Judah and he also speaks to the Church. God is upset because Judah has forgotten Him and all He did for them. They have chosen a lifestyle of sin. They still go through the motions of “church” but their heart is far from God. God is tired of their pretenses, but He promised that if they would turn back to Him, He would turn things around for them. In chapter two, Isaiah speaks to our generation. He speaks of a people that will walk with God. If we enter into the rock (Jesus) and hide there, He would be exalted and we would be protected. Second Corinthians teaches us that we might be flesh and blood, but that is not how we fight and win. We do that in the spirit. Through God we can bring down spiritual strongholds and we can bring every thought to Christ’s will. What a prayer of pray for those that don’t know Christ! Lord, thank you that You don’t look at the outward appearance but You see to the core of our being. May our hears be one with Yours.
