Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.


Isaiah 40 is one of the more recognizable texts among those who have been in church for any length of time. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted, but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength."



The majority of this chapter shows us the magnitude of the God we serve. No one taught him wisdom. No one gives him counsel. The nations and islands are like dust on a scale to him. They are of no account. There are not enough beasts on the earth to offer him an adequate offering nor enough trees to kindle the sacrificial fire. He marks off the heavens simply by stretching out his hand. Every ocean, every stream, every mighty rushing river, every pond, lake, and bubbling brook would be as a few drops in the cup of his hand.

Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.


"The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless; 'Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who among us can dwell with the everlasting burnings?' " The question is similar to the one posed by the people when they first gathered around Mount Sinai. They all witnessed God descend on the mountain in power and glory. The entire mountain appeared to be on fire, and the valley shook at the voice of God. The wicked rabble wondered if they would all be destroyed by this righteous, all-consuming, fire God. The sinners in Isaiah are right to be terrified, to tremble at the idea of coming into the presence of God. But you know who doesn't need to be fearful? Those who have faith in God do not need to shake in the presence of the all-consuming fire. We approach him with reverence and awe, to be sure, but not with fear. We have been covered in his grace and mercy, the beneficiaries of the righteousness supplied to us by faith in Christ. We can dwell in the refining beauty of the fire of God. I love this text, and I remember the texts I've listed below every time I come to it.



Celebrate today, believer, for you shall not be consumed.

Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.


Isaiah and all the rest of the prophets speak their messages to people who will never be interested in them. They "draw near [God] with their mouths and honor [him] with their lips, while their hearts are from [him]." Lipservice is all they can offer to God. We will see in Jeremiah that the people conduct themselves in all sorts of sinful ways and then come to the temple of the Lord and declare, "We are delivered." They were not even ashamed of their sins at all.



Lipservice is easy. Saying we are followers of God is easy, as easy as pushing the breath past our vocal cords. We smile as we walk into the church. We trade pleasantries. We might even give the half-head tilt and all-knowing nod to signify how solemnly we feel the message being preached. But the heart within the chest is cold and distant, bent on its own pleasures and desires. Stoking the fire of God within the chest takes work. Dying is involved. Death of self. Death of the old. Death of price. Death of sinful appetites. Death of all things not birthed in the cross of Christ. The impenitent heart is not interested in having its desires replaced with the thoughts of heaven. The heart steeped in lies plans to depart from the will of God even while the words "I love the Lord" escape our lips. Look at how the sufferer suffers, and you will see where their hope is, in God or themselves. Look at how the blessed rejoices, and you will see where their peace comes from: the throne of heaven or the fullness of the cupboard. People have, since the beginning, drawn near God with their lips. Pagans can do that. Charlatans and pretenders can do that. Mystics and philosophers can do that. But those precious few who draw near to Christ with the heart find themselves crucified with him, buried with him, and raised to walk in NEW LIFE through him. From the Old Testament prophet Isaiah to the Jews who crucified Jesus to the church of the modern day, the temples, the synagogues, and the buildings have been and are filled with people paying lip service. Look closely, and you will see them. And it breaks my heart.

Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.


Pay special attention to the phrase "In that day" scattered throughout today's reading. (and the rest of the prophets, for that matter) Here are three small things for you today. First, several prophesies show that Egypt and Assyria will ultimately turn to God. This would have been not easy to swallow for the Jewish people. They had lived in Egypt for 430 years, many of those as slaves. The Assyrians had brutally oppressed them. To think that these two nations could turn to the Lord would have been difficult to imagine if not utterly offensive to the hearers. But there is another side to this prophesy. In Jeremiah, we will see that the people of Judah turn to Egypt and Assyria for help rather than to the Lord. By Jeremiah, the people of Judah will be steeped in idolatry and will have rejected God as their King. (again) So, no matter how you slice it, the fact that the people of Egypt and Assyria will turn to God is a shame for the people of Israel. Either because they were wicked oppressors to the Hebrews or because the Hebrews sought them for strength rather than seeking God, and now these pagan nations have turned to God first.

Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.


Chapter 25 of Isaiah should rank near the top of your list regarding Old Testament prophesies about the second coming of Jesus. The fact that Paul quotes this text in 1 Corinthians as it relates to the return of Christ and the resurrection of the dead makes it even more potent. There will come a day when God makes a feast of rich food for all peoples, swallows up death forever, wipes away the tears from all faces, and finally removes the reproach of his people. Then the people will gather to God and declare, "This is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."



I long for that day! At the sound of the trumpet and with the archangel's voice, Christ will appear on the clouds, and we will celebrate the coming of our King and Savior.
