August 24: Isaiah 43:8-13
Key Verse: Isaiah 43:11
I, I am the Lord, and besides me there is no saviour.
Devotion:
I love reading through the book of Isaiah because it has so many treasures; treasures of a prophet sent by God to remind the people about the every day things as well as the most important parts of obeying God and having faith.
In these verses we are reminded that it is not just about having ears to listen & eyes to see. It is about accepting the Word of God as the truth, having faith in this God which we are told about in the bible and believing he is ready to love us no matter where we are in our lives.
But that means accepting this into our heart and not just head knowledge. It is about listening with more than just your ears. It is about observing the world and people around us with a renewed mind.
When we start to look and listen deeper than just through worldly eyes and ears, we begin to understand a bit more about God and his will in our lives!
Points to ponder:
How often do you have a real conversation with someone - when you feel what they are talking about?
Will you try to stop and have a conversation like that with God?
