I have already started my day study Hebrews now and have loved realizing how Jesus was tempted and battled the same things we did and therefore can be closer to us and help us more. There really are so many stories in the bible that do relate to our lives today. I feel like God is now leading me to read and study Jeremiah in the morning and go through that book! I just want God to lead me and be able to impact me in what I study!

The book of Isaiah
This morning in my time with God I finished the book of Isaiah. I am unbelievably thankful that God led me to this book and gave me the grace to focus and work through the whole book. It was really powerful to be consistent and read through a chapter a day and take notes over it and stay in the area that God called me to and allow Him to bless it. It is so easy to get sick of reading something everyday or read random scriptures, which in no way is bad, but just to be submissive with what God called me to. Reading Isaiah I feel that I got a lot closer to Gods heart and to know how to serve Him and just how mighty and powerful He really is. It was awesome to see Gods faithfulness and the impact sin has and how evil our hearts are but when we cry out to God that He DOES listen and leads us to His holy and righteous ways. God had a wonderful plan to bring Jesus to this earth and literally make a new heaven and earth. Jesus did so much. We can be so much closer to God now because of the chains Jesus broke. Are we taking full advantage of that? God is always there for us. He will not ignore us. He is sovereign. I look forward to going back through Isaiah during my life and continue to be blessed by it. God really put so much truth and love into His word. He has healed our souls and led us away from temptation. There are so many wonderful and special verses in this book and they will continue to impact the way I live my life and the way I look at God.
