Bible Chapter: Isaiah 9 & 10

Because the Bible is practical, here are some statements to get you thinking.

1.  Write one or two key thoughts that come from today’s reading.
    God will take away the gloom and sorrow. A Deliverer will come.  God promised that one day a Savior would come to the nation and bring them joy.  He would be the light of salvation and free the people from oppression.  This child would be born and this event would become a defining moment in history.  This child would be known as the prince of peace.
    For those who have no sorrow about their sin there will be God’s judgement.  God will also judge heathen people whose pride and cruelty hurt the nation of Israel.

2.  What can I apply in my life from the reading?
    Some of the most well-known prophecies about the Messiah come from these chapters.  They have been quoted time and time again.  His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.  This Savior is what the world needs.  He is what people need in their hearts.  I have been blessed in so many situations to receive help and encouragement from the Lord.  When there are times that things don’t go well, I must and will continue to put my trust in the One of whom it is said:  Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.

3.  How can I help someone?
    Can you see the 2,000 year history of the impact of the life of Jesus?  Can you see the blessings that come to those who make Him their Lord?  Won’t you receive Him in your life as well?
