Renewing Scripture: Isaiah – Part 2
Fall is a great time to focus on renewing our hearts and minds and the Major Prophets are a great place to find some renewing scripture!
The first of five books that make up the Major Prophets is Isaiah. So that’s where I started my fall reading this year!
I thought I’d share some of the renewing scripture the Holy Spirit has been stirring my heart with as I read through this super deep, intense, amazing book in hopes you too will find some renewing strength as you continue to be faithful and put your hope in the ONE TRUE GOD.
Renewing Scripture: Isaiah – Part 2
Time to fill up! Below you’ll find 10 scripture passages found in chapters 41-49 of Isaiah.
Take your time reading through each one. Fill your heart with God’s renewing words! Enjoy the journey – write them out, journal them, memorize them, dig in deeper if you want! Open your heart to receive God’s renewing strength, repent the sins that weigh heavy on your heart, and return to the One who loves you beyond measure.
It’s all about A HEART FILLED, friends!
