This Day With God – A Spiritual Journey | Share The Word

Spiritual Journey Through Isaiah 23-28

Posted on November 13, 2024 by Mark Shields

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been looking at ways to apply the word of God found in Isaiah 23-28 and sharing some thoughts that not only can benefit us now but also help the next generation too! The greatest of all possessions one can hand off to future generations are the guiding principles taught from the Word of God.

An idea from The Better Way is to think of ways to use technology like WordPress which does not cost anything and is not too complicated to use. Use your talent of writing to build kingdom wealth by mining spiritual treasure from the Word of God. Then share this useful and meaningful treasure with others in an efficient way.

Inspired by Transition to Something More, below is a short poem.

Within all the mirth
God devastates the earth
There was a lot of wrong
Humanity brought it on
For lack of pursuance
To the ordinance
But some burst into song
For they had remained strong

Brought out in Jubilation for Some but Tribulation for Others is that when the Lord returns, it will be a time of jubilation for those who have accepted Jesus. They will meet Him in the air, but those who have not accepted Jesus will enter the worst of times.

A thought from reading Isaiah 26 as written in the post Dawn of a New Day is that just as the dawn brings dew that provides moisture and life to soil and vegetation, the Lord brings deliverance. Each day is a new day and your today can be better than yesterday by getting off on the right track, having the right frame of mind, receiving the joy, and believing amazing things can be done.

As explained in Share God’s Plan With As Many As You Can, we never have to go thirsty again as we take in the Word, so we are equipped to serve and worship the ONE true God. Let us aspire to grow in faith and tell the world about Jesus who provides a victorious future.

Written in Things Made By God Line Up is that that things in life can be difficult, but these challenges cause many to seek a better way. The Good News is that in current times, we have the better Way with Jesus Christ. The Word became flesh to teach and understand the better Way to live. Jesus explained about the advantage of the Spirit which flows from God, fills all who He calls, and sets in motion the application of our faith in all we do.

Right Way

Posted on November 12, 2024 by Mark Shields

His God instructs him and teaches him the right way. – Isaiah 28:26

A thought from “Things Made By God Line Up“ is that that things in life can be difficult, but these challenges cause many to seek a better way. The Good News is that in current times, we have the better Way with Jesus Christ.

The Word became flesh to teach and understand the better Way to live. Jesus explained about the advantage of the Spirit which flows from God, fills all who He calls, and sets in motion the application of our faith in all we do.

Let us worship with the song Lead Me to the Cross by Hillsong. As the Old Testament is connected to the New Testament, Jesus is our bridge from this life to the life eternal. Here’s what to do; take the old and mix it with new. Our aim will be true, we will make it through, our dreams will be in view, and we will accomplish more than we ever knew.

Things Made By God Line Up

Posted on November 11, 2024 by Mark Shields

Trust in what God has made rather than what man has made. Things made by man don’t always line up, but things made by God always do and lead us to where we need to go.

Continuing to follow what God has made today as we read in Isaiah 28, we get prophesy that the Lord has a time of wrath for the proud Samaria who did things their way rather than God’s way. A time of hell on earth where they weep and wail and tear out hair. There will be hail and destructive wind. A driving rain and flooding downpour (v. 2). A mighty floodwater of the Euphrates will run over all its banks. For the remnant, God will be a glorious crown. A spirit of justice (vv. 5-6).

Isaiah prophesizes that life will get distressing, stressful, upsetting. Even for the leaders (priests and prophets) who Isaiah describes as immature like a baby just weaned from their milk (v. 9). They complain that it’s too hard to abide by the laws and regulations.

Things in life can be difficult, but these challenges cause many to seek a better way. The Good News is that in current times, we have the better Way with Jesus Christ. The Word became flesh to teach and understand the better Way to live. Jesus explained about the advantage of the Spirit which flows from God, fills all who He calls, and sets in motion the application of our faith in all we do.

We rely on You God who has built the way to eternity. We have the tools in Your Word, the Holy Spirit speaking to us with instructions, and your plan of salvation. What was thought to be difficult, comes together with Jesus in whose name we pray. Amen.

Thought From Devotional 11-08-2024

Posted on November 8, 2024 by Mark Shields

A thought from John 12:12-19 is how Jesus put in the effort to care for people. He got on a donkey and the people waved palm branches as He was on the pathway to passion. Jesus was ready to carry out His purpose as He surrendered all to fulfill His call. He loves you and He demonstrated that love on the Cross. Throughout His life on earth, He taught about how to live and He has sent the Holy Spirit to guide, so be drawn to Jesus to improve your life now and for eternity because He believes you are a treasure beyond measure!

Never Go Thirsty Again

Posted on November 7, 2024 by Mark Shields

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” – John 4:13-14

This day with God, never go thirsty again as you take in the Word so you are equipped to serve and worship the ONE true God. Aspire to grow in faith and tell the world about Jesus who provides a victorious future.

Ask the Lord to do as the lyrics say in Fill My Cup by Andrew Ripp. Fill it so it runs over with love, joy, and peace. Fill your future with vision. With goodness, grace, and provision.
