Why is God ultimately so good to His people Israel (and the church, which is His body), even sometimes when they are not living as He calls them to live? A Devotional thought from Isaiah
For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
Isaiah 48:9

Big Difference! A Devotional Thought from Isaiah
Those in ancient Israel who worshiped false gods in idols had to carry their gods, those who worshiped "The God of Israel, The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Only True God" were carried by God. That is a significant choice: carry or be carried.
Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
Isaiah 46:1-4

We don't want to go through the fire. A Devotional thought from Isaiah.
When God spoke to His people Israel about the difficulties they might face in life He gave them this comforting word, that we need as much today as they did then.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah 43:2
I need to trust Him for that.

Little did he know! A Devotional Thought from Isaiah

Isaiah 36:15

A Wonderful Devotional thought from Isaiah
Spoken by God to Israel for her day of restoration, but equally true for His Church people today by extension and application.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 26:3
As the old youth chorus says: "I just keep trusting the Lord..."

One Day! A Devotional Thought from Isaiah
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
