Isaiah Speaks


December 16
Israel turned away from God again and again. He punished them for their disloyalty by allowing them to be taken into exile. During the time of these invasions, he spoke through his prophet Isaiah. Isaiah, though, didn’t feel worthy to be a spokesman for God. In a vision, he saw angels gathered around the throne of God. One of the angels took a hot ember and touched it to Isaiah’s lips, purifying him for the task of telling Israel about the coming Messiah.

Today’s Bible Verse – Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
