Isaiah

I've been reading Isaiah, and it is a book filled with thanksgiving and praise to God. One of the recent Sunday messages was about prayer, and one point in the message was to remember to thank God when you experience His blessing. I've been trying to grow in this way, and reading Isaiah has helped a lot. I really do have so much to be thankful for, how can I not praise God for it?

Here are the verses that impacted me the most.


"He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of His people He will take away from all the earth." Isaiah 25:8

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3

"The Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore He exalts Himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him." Isaiah 30:18

"In love You have delivered my life from the pit of destruction, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back." Isaiah 38:17

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." Isaiah 40:8

"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable." Isaiah 40:28

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

"[The Lord] gives power to the faint; and to him who has no might He increases strength." Isaiah 40:29


God is so amazingly good to us! :) We must not forget to praise Him for all He has done, and continues to do, for us.
