Isaiah Insights-Part 4

This week the Come, Follow Me manual covered Isaiah chapters 50-57. Here's what I learned...

Isaiah 50:1-2 If we ever feel distanced from God, it is us that have moved away from Him and not Him that has left us.

Isaiah 51 Invitations to remember who we are and invitations to act according to that knowledge (i.e. hearken, look, lift up your eyes, awake, put on and stand up.

Isaiah 53:12 what God gives us (divides) can only end up being multiplied to make more of it (i.e. His knowledge, His power, His love). It is the divine economy of heaven. It's why He can promise to give everyone all that he has, because those attributes are only multiplied once they are shared.

Isaiah 54:1-3 even those without children are told to expand their living spaces and to expect those spaces to be filled. God will promise us unexpected blessings.

Isaiah 55:8-9 God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours. We need to look to Him to inspire our ways and our thoughts.

Isaiah 56:3-8 Righteous living (not our genealogy) determines whether or not we are accepted into the Lord's kingdom. God is willing to let everyone in, if they choose to make and keep covenants with Him.
