"It was never about the animals... It has always been about their hearts" ~ TLC A good reminder for us in this day, to make sure we're not going along blindly with rituals and traditions, and forgetting to seek the very heart of God🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@DonZimmerman52]

Isaiah reveals that God will fulfill His people, and each one of us-regardless of our earthly circumstances (single or married)-will be joined to Him under His marriage canopy (Is 4:5). As TLC’s research points out, the cloud and fire of God’s presence in the wilderness has become a marriage canopy. But there’s a clear process that God wants for us, to be brought into a union with Him: Recognize my rebellion (Is 1:5). “Why do you continue to invite punishment? Must you rebel forever?” Then, we must know that He can “wash me and I will be whiter than snow” (Is 1:18). He will “remove all impurities” (Is 1:25), and “idols will completely disappear” (Is 2:18). And what is amazing is that the way that the Lord restores each of us is the way He restores our whole human experience (Is 2:3): “People from many nations will say, ‘Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, where He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths.’” He calls us to trust Him (Is 2:22), that He is powerful, loving, and will restore us into an intimate relationship with Himself.

I love the vision of the cloud by day and the fire by night. I heard that during the war in Afghanistan, there was a group of soldiers who were protected by a cloud by day and were able to go forth because of the fire by night. God is still with His people - people back in the US prayed for these soldiers and God answered their prayers!

“In that day mankind will cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬ This is my God shot, I’m aware that it doesn’t have a lot to do with God, but I chose this as my God shot because I think it is a good scale, or a reminder as to how far strayed away Israel at the time and we as current Christians may or may have strayed away from God and started worshiping things like money, cars, and popularity rather than what’s really important. Him. God bless.

I actually read along with audio and it helps understand it more .

[@kimbright4935]

I do the same. Engage 2 senses instead of just one

[@CotishaMcNair]

God you are after our hearts. I’m ready to live a life for you thank you. Amen

[@deloresmartinez8503]

Good morning my Bible reader family!!! So excited to begin Isaiah, he's one of my favorite prophets

[@beechannel27]

This was deep. God is so relentless in His pursuit of us!

[@jeffandvikipendergrass]

God is Judge (Isa 3:13). He washes away our filthy sin and cleanses us (Isa 4:4). His presence is a "shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain" (Isaiah 5:6). This verse especially stood out to me with the heat wave we are experiencing in Fresno right now and the storm of life that is currently raging in my family. I got teary eyed reading it as I feel the weight of the storm, but know He is my hiding place. 🫶🏽

[@bobbiebland6826]

Aloha and praise the BR family. God wants a genuine change of heart. Repent and he forgives of our sins. He is where the JOY is!!!❤❤

Amen TLC!

[@kuchela]

Chap. 1:18-20….Gods desire to forgive, His mercy even after all that has been done against Him❤😊

[@karenevans6035]

Isaiah is a major prophet. This is based off of length and not importance. This book is 66 chapters long. It is laid out by poetry. It is the Old Testament book most quoted in the New Testament. Prophecy is truth speaking here. Things that have already happened. Like Nathan prophesied to King David about his sin with Bathsheba. As far as todays reading the northern kingdoms of Israel are finished. But in future days we will continue to read more about them in chronological order. Isaiah is telling Judah to pay attention to what happens to Israel. He warns them if they don’t obey God this can happen to them. Chapters 40-55 will be about the coming Messiah- Jesus, about 700 years later. Chapters 56-66 When God establishes the new heaven and new earth. We see God upset about the peoples offerings. God doesn’t want dead animals. He wants their hearts. The people wanted a pass from God so they could continue in their sins. He shows them that a changed heart will look different. Isaiah depicts the people as a vain woman. Despite the people’s sin and selfishness God still wants to be with His people. He is so loving!

Thank you, Karen, for your recap of what Tara says in her videos. It helps me to listen to her, but then reading your recap of what she says makes it more fully ingrained in my head. Have a wonderful day!

[@karenevans6035]

@@elieshasteffanson5758 that’s really sweet of you to say 🙂 I’m glad! I write it all out to help me mentally process it and get it in order.

[@bariphil]
