Faith Building Verse-Isaiah 48:17

October 5th, 2022

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Faith-Building Verse is Isaiah 48:17.

This is what the LORD says-your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: ‘I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”

The life that God intends for us is to move us toward genuine freedom, complete love, and eternal life.

That is what the grace and truth of Jesus Christ is able to do for us. His commands forbidding certain actions and thoughts are not meant to ruin our fun or make us miserable. God knows how we are wired. He knows how certain behaviors and attitudes can destroy our lives, our relationships, and our freedom. Those behaviors and attitudes also grieve the heart of God and are contrary to His character.

In His wisdom and love, God has revealed His plan for our lives, and that plan is to live by faith in Jesus and love Him with all our being. That plan is life-giving and trustworthy.

This Faith-Building Verse inspires us to be teachable to the way of God in the Year of Relationship.
