Verses that Vivify from the Book of Isaiah

Here are some quotes from the book of Isaiah that will prove a blessing to all of us. We call them Verses that Vivify because that is exactly what God’s Word does in us—it strengthens us!

 

 

Isaiah 25:1 Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.

Isaiah 25:4 You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.

Isaiah 25:8 The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces

Isaiah 25:9 Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.

Isaiah 26:4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.

Isaiah 26:8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

God’s Wisdom, Understanding & Knowledge Possessing You

“By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided,” Proverbs 3:19-20.

Since God’s wisdom, knowledge and understanding made everything, shouldn’t we humans seek to be possessed by divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding?  How blessed our relationships with other humans would be!  How much better we would do on the job!  How much more love and joy would fill our hearts!  Yes, when God’s thoughts control our minds, words and behavior, his blessings rest upon everything we are and everything we do!

There’s a book in the Bible called Proverbs.  As we read this book again and again, it gains control over us.  It begins influencing our thoughts, beliefs and words.  Godly wisdom, understanding and knowledge flow from Proverbs into our emotions and thoughts.  God’s way of living becomes our way of living.  God’s way of treating people becomes our way of treating them.  God’s beliefs become our beliefs.

Why not try reading Proverbs?  There are thirty-one chapters in the book.  Try reading a chapter a day according to the calendar date.  In this way, you will read Proverbs through each month.  Think of that!  For just a few minutes  a day you can read Proverbs through twelve times a year.

Then, Godly wisdom, understanding and knowledge will possess you.  You will enjoy increased harmony in your relationships with people. More and more divine happiness will fill your heart.

Be greatly  encouraged,

Pastor James Fields

Love One Another

Most Christians know that Jesus wants us loving one another.  Nevertheless, loving other humans proves more difficult than loving God.  So the Lord wisely included several Love One Another scriptures in the New Testament.  As we read the forty-three one another scriptures listed below, His Word will empower us with the ability to choose love for each other.  When you don’t feel love, choose to love.  Christian love produces feelings of love, but Christian love never depends only upon feelingsFor whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen,” 1 John 4:20.

Extremely Healthy Meditation

Unseen things eternalOur Creator designed us with minds filled with meditation that makes us spiritually, physically, and emotionally healthy. Consequently, the evil one appealed to Eve’s mind in an attempt to inject unhealthy meditation into her. Regrettably, both Eve and Adam succumbed to the type of thoughts detrimental to their health. Since then, the human race has practiced extremely unhealthy meditation that led the human race from the Lord and into lots of suffering. But, there is some really great news! …
