BIBLE READING PLANNER

God provides ample evidence for mankind that He alone is God, that He is unchanging and that His word is true.

The heavens and their wonders tell of His power (Psalm 19).

His Word, so miraculously preserved (1 Peter 1:25) proclaims His plan and purpose with man and creation.

Jesus Christ is His faithful and true witness (Revelation 1:5) who by his way of life, his miracles, his death and his resurrection proclaimed the true God and eternal life (1 John 1:1-2).

The apostles, prophets and all true believers witness that God is true by their works and manner of life.

The nation of Israel is God's special witness that the Lord God is the only God. They are witnesses that God is in control and that what He says is trustworthy and will always come true (Isaiah 43:12).

DAILY NOTES

SUNDAY - Isaiah 40 - God speaks words of comfort to frail mankind (verses 1-8) and promises wonderful things through Jesus Christ (verses 6-11, 31).

MONDAY - Isaiah 42 - This is the first of a series of promises concerning 'The Servant'. Jesus was God's servant and witness (verses 1-8). This chapter is quoted in the New Testament (Matthew 12:18-21; 3:17).

TUESDAY - Isaiah 52 - Jesus was God's messenger (verse 7) and servant (verse 13). God's people should also be holy or separate (verse 11).

WEDNESDAY - Isaiah 53 - A marvellous description of the rejection of Jesus 700 years before it happened. God's servant (Jesus) would suffer because of sin and sinners (verse 11) but would triumph at the last (verses 10, 12).

THURSDAY - Isaiah 55 - God has given Jesus as a witness and a leader (verse 4). If we respond now (verse 6) we can have forgiveness (verse 7) and become heirs of the PROMISES (verse 3).

FRIDAY - Isaiah 60 - God's special people Israel will be restored - further witness to God's goodness, faithfulness and power.
