Inspiration from Isaiah

Psalm 75│Isaiah 39│2Thessalonians 1│Matthew 17.14-21

Psaumes 75 |Ésaïe 39 | 2 Thessaloniens1 | Matthieu 17.14-21

 

Lire l‘Ancien Testament



The Old Testament was the only scripture available to the early Christians. Jesus, as he walked to Emmaus with Cleopas and his wife, Mary[1], using the Old Testament showed them the evidence that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah. (Luke 24.13-25).

 

I believe that we should not overlook the Old Testament.

 

Prier avant d’agir

 

Hezekiah was a praying man. He had a problem he took it to God. When Assyrian sent a letter of

intent that they were coming, he took the letter to God and God sorted out the mighty invading

army. When he was fatally ill he prayed and God extended his life. He thanked God in prayer that he recovered. He even recommended King Ahaz prayed before battle. Prayer was almost a way of life for him. But here he seems to be so overjoyed to be receiving important guests from Babylon that he completely forgets that God is always with him and rushes around trying to impress his visitors. Unfortunately he does and with dire consequences for his country.

 

I believe that we should not overlook praying in all circumstances

 

Protéger la planète

 

What a relief thought Hezekiah, not in my lifetime. It is easy to ignore problems if they do not affect us personally. But maybe we should not stick our heads in the sand.

 

I believe that we should protect our planet for the generations to come.
