Isaiah is definitely a toughie sometimes. Why is that!? Anyways, I liked verse 16 in chapter 21 "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me". That makes the sacrifice of Christ so personal. He doesn't say anything like "graven the sins of the world" or "graven the children of men" etc.. But he uses the personal term of "Thee", which is ME. He gave his life for ME and YOU. He atoned for our sins and all he wants for us to do is accept his amazing gift of the gospel and of life. How amazing is that really? We are all individually engraven on his palms, and one day, we will see and feel those marks and KNOW and UNDERSTAND why he did it for us. I can't fathom it, but I try to.
In chapter 22, I liked verse 25, where it says "And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth; and he numberth his sheep, and they know him; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep and in him they shall find pasture". I like this because 1. it says they KNOW him. I want to know Christ personally, and I am working on that on a daily basis. 2. it says in him they shall find pasture... which to me, means safety, love, peace, amazingness. I can't wait. Seriously. It's going to be awesome when He comes back.
LOVE YOU!
