* It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.

Song of Praise

 

  1. The Messianic Sign of Immanuel (Isa 7:1-16): His birth.
  2. The Messianic Son of God (Isa 9:1-7): His person, his nature.
  3. The Messianic Branch (Isa 11:1-16 ): His kingdom, his reign.

       Interspersed between these messianic passages are passages of God's judgment.
