    Isaiah 55:12, promise of being lead forth in peace is so trusting

    I have a question for you ladies. I am dealing with an “incurable” bladder disease. What is some good scripture for me to read and meditate on that God does provide miracle healings and that I might be healed from this if it is his will?

    1. Allison W. says:

      I am so sorry to hear that, Sheena! You are certainly in my prayers.

      For several years I had migraines that nobody could explain. It was exhausting and a little alienating. So, while I cannot understand exactly how you are feeling, I certainly can empathize.

      I was always drawn to the story of the bleeding woman found in the Gospels during this time. She had suffered for so long, and I am certain tried every remedy that was out there. Touching Jesus’ cloak was her last hope, and she was healed.

      Just remember, while it may or may not be God’s will to heal you of this particular ailment, the fact that He loves you will never change.

      I once had I.C an was cured by drinking prescription Nystatin and drinking marshmallow tea. It took over six months of trying different healing methods but I believe it was those two that healed me.

      Message me if you can Sheena

    I’ve been reading Barclay’s commentaries on the New Testament along with the chapters and he adds a lot because he has a rich understanding of the Greek so here are some things that stood out to me: Justify in Greek doesn’t mean to prove your right it means to account or reckon a person, so “God treats the sinner as if he had not been a sinner at all”. One other take away from the first verses when Paul is describing his qualifications- “The law lays down what a man must do the gospel lays down what God has done”. There are some truly blessed words in today’s reading!

    Sooo much in both of today’s readings! I love this part from Isaiah 55:10 As the rain and the snow
    come down from heaven,
    and do not return to it
    without watering the earth
    and making it bud and flourish,
    so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
    11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,
    but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

    What a promise! His word is truth and it will accomplish what He desires. We can rest in that truth and serve God because of love, not law..and as Paul says in Romans 1:5 “The righteous shall live by faith. “

  5. Laura says:

    Isaiah 54 is such a comfort when you’re walking through a desert time in your marriage! This was providential timing for me this morning!

    1. Sara says:

      Prayers for your marriage Laura!

  6. Katrina P says:

    Isaiah 54:14 In righteousness you shall be established;
    you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
    and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

    I’ve learned that fear can only paralyze me from the good God has planned for me in this lifetime. If something is life-threatening, I always tell myself and others, think long and hard on it… But if doing something is scary but it’s not going to hurt you and could possibly help you, it’s a sign of taking Faith to grow as a person and take that chance!

    1. Gabrielle says:

      Yes I’ve been convicted of this lately as well! God doesn’t give us a spirit of fear- so it is so helpful to look beyond the fear. I like to think of what I would do or how God might use me if I’m not afraid to do whatever it is in afraid of. And usually that image of love >fear is enough to move me!

  7. Jessica says:

    Isaiah and Romans- probably my two favorite books of the Bible! What a beautiful Savior, Redeemer, and Lord! =)

  8. Caroline says:

    Amazing to read Isaiah 53! I was not familiar with this passage, so cool to see prophecy 700 years before Jesus came! Such great readings today!

    1. Jeannette says:

      I was thinking the same thing this morning. I listen to mine while I get ready for work and I immediately though WOW that’s a prophecy for Jesus!

      1. Erica says:

        What do you use to listen to the bible?

        1. Heidi L says:

          Erica- I was just reading through comments. Not sure what Jeanette listens to but I listen as well on Bible Gateway and follow along on the SRT site. I really like doing it that way. :)
