Ministry

My Bible Journey

Aug 23, 2007

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted what the Lord has been showing me in Scripture—here are some highlights from God’s “rocking Perry’s world” tour out of the book of Isaiah!

  • Isaiah 1:18 - This is what Jesus did for me!
  • Isaiah 1:19-20 - It really doesn’t get much more simple than this!
  • Isaiah 2:2-3 - Looks like God has a plan for LARGE CROWDS of people to come to him!
  • Isaiah 2:22 - EVERY leader needs to memorize this verse!
  • Isaiah 7:3 - God told Isaiah to take his son along with him while doing ministry…dads, we are called to LEAD our children!
  • Isaiah 14:24 - God has a plan, He isn’t trying to figure this thing out!
  • Isaiah 22:8-11 - Making plans without God is stupid!
  • Isaiah 26:3 - My thought life is SO IMPORTANT!
  • Isaiah 27:6 - God wants His people to be fruitful!
  • Isaiah 28:29 - YES!  I have NEVER made a mistake when I have obeyed God—it’s when I go against Him that I screw up!
  • Isaiah 29:13 - God knows who is and who isn’t real!
  • Isaiah 29:17 - Another one of those darn verses about the people of God being fruitful!

Those are just a few of the verses that have stood out to me so far—some of the main ideas that God has taught me in Isaiah are…

  • He has an opinion on EVERYTHING!  He doesn’t just address Israel—but I think He deals with pretty much every nation on earth at the time.
  • He is Sovereign!  He controls the universe…the reason Babylon and Assyria invaded Israel was because He made them!!!
  • God hates pride!
  • God desires for NOTHING He created to be stagnant…He desires fruitfulness!
  • I cannot mess up by listening and obeying—I just can’t!
  • Listening to God is THE MOST important thing I can do for my family and this church!
