Isaiah 37-38; I Cor 6

So I had to wake up this morning at 4:15... yay... fortunately they let us go back to be by about 6:30.... much bigger yay. I'm getting bored here, and it's only my first week. I'm going to try to spend a bit more time on my guitar... hopefully that will keep me busy... and I might even get good at guitar!!! Yesterday I had a walk with God... it started to rain, and then it started to downpour... awesome. It felt good... like God was finally washing me clean (more coming soon in my crying out blog).

Isaiah 37: King Hezekiah turns back to God... He seems to automatically gain confidence because the Assyrians challenged God’s power. I don’t think he would have turned to God if they hadn’t. He knew that God would want to show His power to the world. And of course Assyrian starts fighting all sorts of other peoples. Hezekiah’s prayer to God is inspiring. Anyway, God answers though Isaiah, and then has an angel go slaughter the Assyrians… yeah… cool.

Isaiah 38: This is the Chapter about God healing Hezekiah. Hezekiah has been a real inspiration to me. I’ve been so frustrated lately about continually falling. Hezekiah is the prime example of someone who wants to do the right thing, but never seems to actually do it. However, whenever he is in trouble, and he cries to God… God always answers. He always saves him. The final part of the chapter Hezekiah asks “what is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?” great question to ask… maybe I should be asking and waiting instead of running around… all I know is that there is no better place to wait J.

I Corinthians 6: This gets into that fact that Christians shouldn’t be having lawsuits against each other… more importantly Paul attacks the deeper issues. There should never be reasons for things to go that far. Either fix it in the church, or just be wronged and move on. He then talks about how if we join ourselves with Christ we become one flesh. We should defile it with immorality (more on this in the temptations blog). He finally reminds us that God bought us with the blood of Christ, so we should glorify Him.
