Isaiah 15:1-21:17

What God said to me – The Lord says.  The Lord says.  The Lord says.  Read it.  Believe it.  I speak to My people.  That has not changed.  I long for My people to listen . . .  to wait eagerly to hear from Me.  They either do not believe it or won’t take the time to seek Me, to stop and listen to Me.  You tell them what you have heard from Me. Tell them how I speak.  Tell them how I long to speak to them also.  Most will not listen, but there will be a few . . . a few who hunger . . . a few who need encouragement.  Live out loud what “I AM” doing in your life.  They will hear and be encouraged.  You tell them what you hear from Me, and I will draw them to Myself.  You lift Me up.

Isaiah 13:1-14:32

What God said to me – The desire for more and putting yourself higher always results in pride which will eventually cause you to fall.  Descending that way is a difficult and humiliating way to learn the lesson of humbleness.  It’s when you choose to give rather than have more and when you step aside and serve rather than step up to the front that true humility will come.  Those who lift up themselves, I will bring down.  But those who humble themselves, I will lift up in due time.  Don’t seek glory, seek to serve.  Don’t step to the front, put others first.  A servant’s heart is more pleasing to Me than the greatest success.  Walk with Me and I will teach you what it means to walk with humility.  Only I can remove pride from a heart.  Let Me transform you.

Isaiah 10:1-12:6

What God said to me – So few people truly rely on Me.  Even though “I AM” the giver and sustainer of life, few actually acknowledge it by the way they live.  Some pay Me lip service, but few actually live it.  My desire is for you to truly learn what it means to rely on Me.  Let Me schedule your day.  Turn to Me for the next thing you need to do.  Start your day with Me and let Me set your priorities for the day.  To do that means you must come to Me first thing, don’t hit the ground running and fit Me in when you can.  Let Me come with you . . . help you . . . guide you.  I will open your eyes to see what to do and to be more effective.  I created all that is just by speaking so surely, I can help you get through your day.  Come to Me.  Rely on Me.
