It is difficult for me to pick a favorite book of the Bible, but Isaiah in the Old Testament is a top contender. Digging deeper past God’s judgment of sin, we find promises fulfilled only in Jesus, assurance of God’s comfort, and anticipation of heaven’s glory revealed.
The beautiful diversity of Dolly Sods Wilderness in the Monongahela National Forest (of West Virginia) reminded me of a walk through Isaiah to discover earth-shattering truths that change hearts and lives to follow the LORD.
Isaiah 2:5
Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

Isaiah 40:4-5
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Isaiah 42:16
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

Isaiah 44:22
I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.

Isaiah 49:10
They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.

Donna, I love when God speaks to us through His creation! At home as I downloaded the pictures I took on vacation, I could sense the awe of Isaiah’s truths in those pictures.

Thank you Debbie the Pictures are beautiful and the words powerful in context.
It is hard to pick favorite parts of the Bible as all Scripture is inspired by God and many have touched my heart but Isaiah 43 is a powerful Scripture with great assurance from our Lord God who Loves and cares for us.
