Isaiah 1 - 3; Titus 3

I really like Isaiah....don't remember why right at this moment.... but for some reason very excited to be starting it again...hoping you will read it with me and let me know what you think......

I am surrounded right now w/people ....... some of them seeking Christ and others with little to no interest in a journey.....I am confused and excited....wanting relationships to deepen and yet scared to death to take the steps to make that happen or be open to it.....

I am kind of a mess right now.....or maybe I'm always a mess and sometimes I just fail to see it for what it really is.....

Is. 1: 18-20"Come. Sit down. Let's argue this out."
This is God's Message:"If your sins are blood-red,
they'll be snow-white.If they're red like crimson,
they'll be like wool.If you'll willingly obey,
you'll feast like kings.But if you're willful and stubborn,
you'll die like dogs."That's right. God says so.

Titus 3: 8-11 I want you to put your foot down. Take a firm stand on these matters so that those who have put their trust in God will concentrate on the essentials that are good for everyone. Stay away from mindless, pointless quarreling over genealogies and fine print in the law code. That gets you nowhere. Warn a quarrelsome person once or twice, but then be done with him. It's obvious that such a person is out of line, rebellious against God. By persisting in divisiveness he cuts himself off.

And people ask me why I love connecting with God so much through His word......
I may be confused until the day I die about some things...
I may be forever in a wrestling match with God over some of those things......
but that confusion
that wrestling ...
hopefully are softening me to His will....
and in THAT softening perhaps someday I will draw others into their own journeys, their own wrestling matches with this most Amazing God.....and in that wrestling, finding Christ, finding the power of a relationship .....He does what He does....for His good and glory.....I hope so anyway.
