The Basic Training Challenge – Prophets And PoetsSample
Day 11 — Incoming Commander
Pray:
Lord God, quiet my soul and open my mind and heart to receive your Word. Amen.
Read: Isaiah 9:1-21
Reflect
Jerusalem and Judah were completely ransacked by the enemy. Here Isaiah offers the struggling Israelites hope by telling of a coming Savior. He also declares that their enemies will be defeated. Who is the child whose birth Isaiah predicted? What will this child be called (v.6)? Why does Israel rebel against God? How do I rebel against God?
Respond
Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son, sent to cleanse me from my sinful stubbornness, and to bring me closer to You. Help me to be faithful to You. Amen.
