Oct 17 - Isaiah 63:15-16
Oct 17 - Isaiah 63:15-16
Isaiah continues with this power piece of literature. He describes the Lord as one who dwells in heaven. His throne is lofty, holy, and glorious. The Lord is awesome. He wonders why the Lord has held back his zeal, might, tenderness and compassion. The Lord is their Father even though the descendants of Abraham and Israel know or acknowledge currently. The Lord is still the father, and redeemer even if people do not know or acknowledge it. The Lord is who He is. He is the great I am. He is the Alpha and Omega and the Beginning and the end. The Fatherhood of God is a recurring theme throughout the Bible.

Oct 16 – Red Sea Crossing - Isaiah 63:11-14
Oct 16 – Red Sea Crossing - Isaiah 63:11-14
Isaiah is recounting for his readers that they have quite the history. Remember how in the days of Moses that the Lord brought them through the Red Sea. He was like a shepherd watching over His flock. He sent His Holy Spirit among them. They had divine help and guidance. Through the parting of the Red Sea by Moses the Lord had gained everlasting renown. He led them through the sea like a horse in open country. They did not stumble and like cattle going down to the plain. Things went smoothly.
The people were giving rest by the Spirit of the Lord. They were guided by the Lord and because of that He gained a glorious name. People remember Moses, the Red Sea and Israel but history does not remember which Pharaoh or commanders of the Egyptian armies.

Oct 15 – Don’t Grieve the Holy Spirit - Isaiah 62:7-10
Oct 15 – Don’t Grieve the Holy Spirit - Isaiah 62:7-10
Isaiah then begins a time of prayer and praise. He will tell of the goodness of the Lord and the things for which He is to praise for. Especially for the things has done for Israel. The Lord is compassionate and kind. He will bring back his people and help them to be true and recognize that He is their savior. In their distress He was distress and that His angel of His presence saved them. Isaiah is reflecting on the time the nation was in the wilderness and had the personal guidance of the angel of the Lord.
The Lord in His mercy and love He redeemed His people. He lifted them up and carried just like the days of old. They however rebelled and grieved the Holy Spirit. So, He turned and became their enemy and He Himself fought against them. There is many warning about quenching or grieving the Holy Spirit. This is one thing that a believer must be careful of.
