There are many sources that our world turns to for salvation, wisdom and knowledge. But the fear of the Lord is the only true source.
Kept in Perfect Peace, in Spite of Circumstances – Isaiah 26:3
In the midst of uncertain and troubling times, trust in the Lord. He will keep in perfect peace all those whose hope is in him. He cares more than we know.
Soaring On Wings Like Eagles – Isaiah 40:28-31
In challenging time, it could be easy to think that God doesn’t care. But trust in him. He will renew your strength so you can soar on wings like an eagle.
Lord, Here I Am. Send Me! – Isaiah 6:8

By His Wounds We Are Healed – Isaiah 53:5-6
Take time today to read this song, Isaiah 52:13-53:12, and meditate on its words. Remember the one who died in your place so that you might have life. And give thanks that God loved you so much that he gave his only Son so that you might have eternal life (John 3:16).
God’s Ways Are Not Our Ways – Isaiah 55:8-9
It is sometimes tempting to want to correct what God is doing, or allowing; or to give him advice. As if we knew better than he did. But how much better to simply trust him to do what he knows is best. Even when it seems messed up to me.
