I lo...I love Isaiah, for some reason I always have. I love how in the latter chapters he emphasizes that the Lord is forgiving to those who repent. It starts out kind of doom and gloom but the recurrent theme is repent! To me it is saying no one is perfect and there is salvation for everyone that is willing to repent. It reiterated how loving the Lord actually is, no matter how hardened an individuals heart has become, or how corrupt and bad they have been there is always hope. You need only take control of your own destiny and thoughts and repent, do whatever you need to do to become pure again and get back on the path. I think it is a beautiful message. I know that he is talking about Judah, I think its Judah I don't have it right here, but I see so many parrallels to our society today. I have been feeling really bad lately about the state of things, especially involving politics. Maybe it is because its an election year so its all being reported on more, I have no clue. For me, and I have no doubt that most of the people on this blog will disagree with me which is fine, but I feel like Satan has almost taken over the politics in our country. To me it is in the form of the Republican Party, or Tea Party, Conservatism. My criticism goes for our current President as well, to me he acts too conservative. They are all one big mess, both political parties! I feel so hopeless when I think about it. Then I am reminded that there is always hope, pretty awesome really. Okay I got it out read Isaiah 53:5-12, talking about the saviors sacrifice. One thing I do, and I learned this from my Mother, is listen to this on CD while cleaning or doing other things. I find that if I am listening to scripture on CD, or my Mother has it on her I pod, while I am doing things they seem to click or make more sense, or I'll have those a ha moments. Maybe it is something to do with listening while doing boring menial tasks like housework I don't know but maybe give it a try? Maybe while your kids are down for their nap?Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757428913609732538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74864394654073513.post-38452443193133690022012-06-13T22:42:49.936-06:002012-06-13T22:42:49.936-06:00My vote: take a break from the Character of Christ...My vote: take a break from the Character of Christ study, and get into Isaiah, because you'll get even more out of the return to the first study with Isaiah more comfortably under your belt.<br /><br />I love Isaiah. His writings are, to me, confirmation that Heavenly Father has, in the past, imparted to individuals the knowledge of all things, and those individuals struggled mightily to distill the message and meaning for us. I'm hoping I get to meet him in the post-mortal realms, and talk to him about the amazing poetry he used to share it all with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
