Isaiah 51-55

• Reminds us who our foundation should be set on (51:1) and reminds up that God provides in the past (v2)

Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear not the reproach of man, nor be dismayed at their revilings. For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations."

-- Isaiah 51:7- 8

• Reveals Jesus bearing our transgressions (53:1-5)
• Describes us as lost sheep (v6)

Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.

-- Isaiah 55:2-3

• We often waste our time, effort and money doing things that are not beneficial to ourselves. We should listen to our Lord.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

-- Isaiah 55:8-9

• We may sometimes not comprehend God's actions when we are going through grief, but we should trust that what he has for us are more meaningful than what we can imagine.
