Isaiah

I've started reading Isaiah in my quiet time recently. I haven't read the prophet books yet, so I thought this would be a good time to dive into them. So I'm gonna share some verses that stuck out to me.

Isaiah 4:2, 4-6

2 In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. 4 The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. 5 Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy. 6 It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.

We walk through fire and judgement so we can be purified and become beautiful like Christ. In teh end He will protect us from everything that comes against us in the world. We will not be harmed by the storms in our lives. We will not melt under the heat of wrong or foolish decisions. Christ loves us, and He loves us enough to let us stay in our mistakes.

What do you think?? I don't even know if this makes sense, but it just stood out to me.

(thanks to my mom, I got to blog!! She let me borrow her computer, but my dad said he could fix mine!)
