Remember, in His Word, God has:
- Something to see – what does the text say
- Something to understand – what does it mean
- Something to apply – what does it mean to me
- Something to praise – for what are you thankful?
(1) Through the Bible
| Day 1: Proverbs 9; Isaiah 1-2 | Day 4: Proverbs 12; Is 8-9 |
| Day 2: Proverbs 10; Is 3-5 | Day 5: Proverbs 13; Is 10-12 |
| Day 3: Proverbs 11; Is 6-7 | Day 6: Proverbs 14; Is 13-15 |
Next Sunday’s theme will be Threat as as we look at 2 Kings 18-20 and Isaiah 36-39. These parallel passages consider the reign of Judah’s faithful King Hezekiah. During his reign we read of the fall of the Northern Kingdom to the Assyrians, Hezekiah’s subsequent failed attempt at appeasement, and the fascinating account of the Assyrian King Sennacherib’s attempts to conquer Judah. Highlights include the mocking threats of Sennacherib, Isaiah’s counsel to Hezekiah, Hezekiah’s prayer to the Lord, and the Lord’s response. Through it all we again that God rules all nations and that he is the faithful one in whom his children need to trust.
