Greetings dear and precious saints of God my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, and welcome back to this life changing study of the Bible book of Isaiah. Please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you so much for sharing. The featured picture today to a beautiful sunset scene provided by Joe Getchell Jr a wonderful, faithful man of God. Thank you so much Joe.
The Lord is so good to give us His Word, a lamp unto our feet. The Word is the thoughts of God and are to be our thoughts, how we think, we need to train ourselves to think like God. We will then talk like God. Then we will be in the Seventh Day living as God intended not being in and of the earth cursed system of toil and sweat. Many make the Scriptural point that they are in the world but not of the world. Does the fruit of their lives bear out that statement?
Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in the wonderful Book of Isaiah.
Isaiah 51:12-16 (NIV)
12 “I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal men, the sons of men, who are but grass,
13 that you forget the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor?
14 The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread.
15 For I am the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar– the LORD Almighty is his name.
16 I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand– I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, ‘You are my people.'”
God is once again reminding His people who He is compared to all else. Do you see a pattern here? God always has an outstretched Hand for His people for any people who will but worship Him. He wants nothing but good for all persons so why do we rebel so fiercely, even in the Church? For example, some get fighting mad about prosperity, why. It is of the enemy. Dear ones, prosperity is the one thing that can really move the Kingdom of God ahead. I hate to be the one to tell you but prayer, best wishes, and a few pats on the back do not move the Kingdom of God ahead nor move the demons. One might exclaim proudly about themselves or another that they are hard workers. God never appointed or ordained anyone to hard work. Where are the Scriptures? Listen to the Apostle Paul then Jesus.
2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV)
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
The word “rest” above is not about naps but walking in the Seventh Day, the rest, the provision of God. Back to our text. The Lord goes on talking about how He is the Maker of men, He alone stretched out the heavens and established the earth. He says I am the One who causes the waves of the sea saying “the LORD Almighty is his name”! O dear ones what a mighty God we serve, and who made us sons. We have an eternal future out beyond our wildest dreams in the natural but ask and the Lord will show you by His Spirit.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow. Remember the Lord is good, really way beyond good.

2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
