Today’s Scripture: That is why we ought to pay even closer attention to the voice that has been speaking so that we will never drift away from it. 2 For if the words of instruction and inspiration brought by heaven’s messengers were valid, and if we live in a universe where sin and disobedience receive their […]

Isaiah 66

Today’s Scripture: Heaven is My throne, and earth is where I rest My feet.    So what kind of structure would you build Me?        What man-made space could provide Me a resting place?2     Everything is the product of My hand—My being and My doing—        that’s how all you see came to be; I made it all.[a]    Nevertheless, I am interested in […]

Isaiah 65

Today’s Scripture: I was ready and willing to help before anyone even asked.        I was found by people who did not seek Me;    I showed My face and said, “Here I am! I am right here!”        to a nation which did not call on Me.[a]2     I kept extending Myself to a people who don’t care a whit.        All day long […]
