Renewing Scripture: Isaiah - Part 2 @aheartfilled.com

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!

Side Note – I’ve referenced all the verses using the NLT version, but I love exploring different translations so I encourage you to find your favorite translation for each. Delight in your search

(1) Isaiah 41:10

  • There is no need to be afraid because God is right beside us all the way. His strength is sufficient.

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)

(2) Isaiah 42:16

  • A renewing journey with God as our guide and light! God makes a way, all we need is faith.

“I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; I will not forsake them.”

Isaiah 42:16 (NLT)

(3) Isaiah 43:1-2

  • Trails are a part of life, but we don’t have to go through them alone. God is our strength and protection.

“But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, ‘Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.'”

Isaiah 43:1-2 (NLT)

(4) Isaiah 43:19a

  • God works in and through us! The old slips away and renewing begins as He revives us in crisp new ways.

“For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?”

Isaiah 43:19a (NLT)

(5) Isaiah 43:25

  • True, genuine forgiveness! God forgives AND forgets – the only example we need to follow as we forgive others.

“I – yes, I alone – will blot out your sins for your sake and will never think of them again.”

Isaiah 43:25 (NLT)

(6) Isaiah 44:3-4

  • A renewing poured upon us!

“For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children. They will thrive like watered grass, like willows on a riverbank.”

Isaiah 44:3-4 (NLT)

(7) Isaiah 46:3b-4

  • Truth and comfort! Our Creator has been with us from before the beginning of our lives and He will be there for us throughout our entire lifetime.

“I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born. I will be your God throughout your lifetime – until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.”

Isaiah 46:3b-4 (NLT)

(8) Isaiah 46:10

  • God’s plans prevail!

“Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.”

Isaiah 46:10 (NLT)

(9) Isaiah 48:10

  • A verse all about renewing growth! Suffering is a part of life, but it’s in these moments we draw closer to God. We get to lean on His strength and watch Him work His refining ways in and through our lives. It’s in these moments we gain a glorious insight into God’s heart and grow in our wisdom and relationship with our Heavenly Father.

“I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.”

Isaiah 48:10 (NLT)

(10) Isaiah 49:13

  • We can praise God through our suffering, because He’s where the comfort is!

“Sing for joy, O heavens! Rejoice, O earth! Burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people and will have compassion on them in their suffering.”

Isaiah 49:13 (NLT)

Reading through Isaiah has given me comfort, made my heart leap with joy, and renewed my mind and heart beyond measure, and I’m praying you too will find the peace and joy you long for as you explore all Isaiah has to offer.

The book of Isaiah is filled with SO MUCH renewing scripture. I only scratched the surface with this list. If you haven’t read through the entire book, make sure to take time for that soon and check out my other posts in my Renewing Scripture series – more will be coming soon!
