Sundays are one of my favorite days of the week I get up in the morning get all fancied up then I get to go to the one place on earth that I can really be who I love to be, and that is a child of the Lord. Even though I am always his child I really feel connected with him when I am in his house, learning about him and praising him. He is the only God. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Rev. 19:16. Today at the Loft at Spring Creek Church in Pewaukee Wisconsin, we talked about the book of Isaiah and that it is the mini bible because Isaiah has 66 chapters and the bible has 66 books! Isn't that amazing?! In Isaiah there is one part that says the same exact thing in Rev. 4:8 "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." Isaiah 6:3. It repeats again in Rev. 4:8 but the authors were thousands of years apart but still wrote the same thing. That"s how powerful and amazing it is.My youth Pastor Casey S. always writes these amazing notes for the middle school and high school youth groups and this week he put in 3 key verses that I thought I might share with you guys. The first one is Isaiah 7:14, " Therefore the LORD himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." Back then, like now people didn't believe that Jesus was sent here from God, there is the biggest sign right there in the scripture that says that he is from God! The second verse in the notes is Isaiah 9:6, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Another sign right there. And the last verse is Isaiah 53:5, "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punished that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." AMEN!! Those were some good verses! I just wanted to thank God for one more day on this beautiful earth and that we do not deserve life and forgiveness for our sins we deserve death but yet he lets us live. Thanks God! And thak you guys for reading my blog! :)
