The Daily Plunge!

Salvation Ramparts (Isaiah 26:1-10). The salvation God works in the people of God protects them and brings them peace. Does your soul yearn for the glorious presence of the LORD?

Don’t Trust Death (Isaiah 25:1-9).  The Lord topples the stronghold of the enemy into ruins. When the LORD destroys the idol of death, the LORD Almighty will take away the disgrace and shame of all peoples. Trust God more than death.

In What Day (Isaiah 12:1-6). When the Messiah is lifted up as our banner he becomes your salvation, your strength. As God is your strength you, don’t be silent. Shout aloud and sing with joy the Lord is with you!

A Banner Lifted Up (Isaiah 11:10-16). Christ is lifted up to draw all people to himself (Jn 12:32). The Lord removes the hostility and eradicates the barriers to gathering together the scattered people. He will make it super easy to come to Him.

Destructive Peace (Isaiah 11:1-9). Out of the stump the LORD promises to bring peace through the promised Messiah. By his word he slays the wicked to destroy the ugly sinful oppression.

What Remains? (Isaiah 10:20-27)  Isaiah encourages us to not believe in our oppressor and our anxieties more than the LORD Almighty. Those who return to the LORD will be freed of burden and yoke.

Who Serves Who? (Isaiah 10:5-19) The God of history uses the people and nations to accomplish his will over time. Any theology that wields God for human purposes is false. We are blessed when we are tool in the hand of God.

Wasteland Of Thorns (Isaiah 9:18-10:4). Wickedness burns up the sin and people are fuel for the fire of sin. Our only hope is the grace of God.

Broken Bricks (Isaiah 9:8-17). Are we using broken philosophies to rebuild a broken world? Even though the leaders continue to lead their people astray the wrath of sin will is still coming. Do you think humans can build a utopia?

Bright Light Dawns (Isaiah 9:1-7). The people distressed and disgraced live in spiritual darkness. The only gift of the Child breaks the oppression and violence.

Who Do You Consult? (Isaiah 8:16-9:1) If we consult this world or the occult we find only despair or death. Look to the Word of the living God who gives honor even to the broken. Do you dabble with consulting others forces?

Just Ordinary Words (Isaiah 8:1-15). Isaiah records God's Word to see that it does come to fruition. Jesus uses Isaiah's very words to point to how he is the new cornerstone of life.

Ask For A Sign (Isaiah 7:10-25). The unbelieving king doesn't want God to give a sign of His grace, But God says he will give sign whether he wants it or not. Where an unbelieving world cannot decide between right and wrong, God sends Immanuel who chooses what is right all the way to the cross.

Shouldering Threateners (Isaiah 7:1–9). The proper tells the shaken king to stand firm in faith so he can remain standing. Do we see what legacy of faith we are leaving to our children and grandchildren?

Down To A Stump (Isaiah 6:1–13). The angelic seraphim know to dedicate all of their eternity to praising God, how about you? God will whittle our pride and arrogance down to the numb so out of the stump will come our Savior.

Wanton Lack of Understanding (Isaiah 5:13–17, 24–25, see John 16:8-11). God's people will be out in the cold because they have spurned the covenant of the LORD. Don't be surprised people hunger and thirst if they reject the LORD.

God Is Blunt (Isaiah 5:8-25). The Lord warns God’s people that when they spurn his word they are in for woes and ultimately Death. God will use the forces of this world to impose woe on his wayward people.

A Beautiful Branch (Isaiah 4:2-6). The fruit of following God's beautiful servant will be our glory and delight. When we are under the canopy of God's Spirit we are protected from the storms.

Vineyard Song (Isaiah 5:1-7). Isaiah sings about God’s vineyard that produces sour grapes. The people of God forget that their fruit is not themselves but for God to bless the world. (Isaiah 5:1-7, see Mk 12:1-12)

Full Of Horses? (Isaiah 2:1-11) When we walk in the ways of the Lord conflict diminishes. Yet if we insist on our own ways we will be humbled because the Lord alone will be exalted.

For Bats & Moles: (Isaiah 2:12-22).  The Lord's majestic presence is fearsome because the LORD is good and just. Rather than trust in proud humans will be called to account, look to the LORD who invites you into his presence.

Staggering Astray (Isaiah 3:1-15). When rulers don't hide their sin they devour the common people. The real leader sees the people as God's vineyard.

Just A Shack (Isaiah 1:1-20). Are we rebellious and ungrateful children with wounds and welts. If we will turn to the Lord in adoration and obedience our sins will be washed clean.

Purging Impurities (Isaiah 1:21-31). When the faithful sell out to this world our former treasures become trash. The LORD promises to break sinners to free us from disgrace.
