As you begin Isaiah, you enter in the midst of a lawsuit against Judah. The Lord used His messenger Isaiah to indict His covenant people. Amid warnings of judgment for those who continue to rebel, God offers forgiveness to those who repent and promises a beautiful and glorious future restoration.
Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.
