Greetings dear children of God and those who are running from God, to those who practice love (agapē) and those who think they do. Welcome back to this enlightening, engaging, and empowering study of the Bible Book of Isaiah. The featured picture today is of the State House in Boston Massachusetts. The purpose is to remind us all of the importance of praying for, obeying, and honoring those in authority. Now, let’s cast our attention to our primary Bible text continuing to read out loud, yes, out loud.
Isaiah 63:14-16 (NKJV)
14 As a beast goes down into the valley, And the Spirit of the LORD causes him to rest, So You lead Your people, To make Yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven, And see from Your habitation, holy and glorious. Where are Your zeal and Your strength, The yearning of Your heart and Your mercies toward me? Are they restrained?
16 Doubtless You are our Father, Though Abraham was ignorant of us, And Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
I will be picking up with this text as the week progresses but first, I want to revisit verse eleven.
Isaiah 63:11 (NKJV)
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying: “Where is He who brought them up out of the sea With the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,
Notice that the text says that God “put His Holy Spirit within them” however that may not be an accurate translation. For example, the Amplified and other says His Spirit was among them.
Isaiah 63:11 (AMP)
11 Then His people [seriously] remembered the days of old, of Moses and his people [and they said], Where is He Who brought [our fathers] up out of the [Red] Sea, with [Moses and the other] shepherds of His flock? Where is He Who put His Holy Spirit within their midst,
Yesterday I pointed out the not only was John the Baptist filled with the Holy Spirit in the womb but his mother Elisabeth was also filled with the Holy Spirit. It seems clear that certain people in the Old Testament were indeed filled with the Holy Spirit. This happen out of time, was acquired by faith much like the Syrophoenician woman (Matthew 15, Mark 7) obtained healing by faith for her daughter out of time. The first person we see filled with the Holy Spirit is Bezaleel.
Exodus 31:1-3 (KJV)
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
And Joshua.
Numbers 27:18 (KJV)
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
We must be careful about the boxes we create remembering that anything is possible with God by faith.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow. Remember, we love you, the Lord loves you, and there is nothing you can do about either one.
