Isaiah 20-30

Chapter 20 will be a special segment I write tomorrow Chapter 20-23 includes judgments on nations and cities Chapter 24 is about judgments on the whole world Chapter 25 God swallows up death, which is quite a great victory Chapter 26 is a song about this great victory Chapter 27 is about the redemption ofContinue reading “Isaiah 20-30”

Isaiah 1-20

In many ways, chapter 1 serves as a summary of the book. Isaiah paints a vivid picture of the wickedness that he sees. Then he proclaims how the Lord feels about it. Then a call to repentance. Then a promise of judgment should you not repent. Finally, there’s a blessing for repentance and curses forContinue reading “Isaiah 1-20”

2 Peter

If I could poster-ize a section of Scripture, enlarge it and put it on my wall, I would do so with 1:3-11. It’s certainly worth memorizing. It’s just a phenomenal section. Peter moves on in verses 12-15, explaining why he is writing this letter. And in many respects, it’s the same reason I write. I’mContinue reading “2 Peter”

A Mantra / Prayer

I have this mantra I’ve started with God: “God, I can’t do this.” “I know you can’t, Omer. BUT I can.” “God, I can’t do this.” “I know you can’t, Omer. BUT I can.” “God, I can’t do this.” “I know you can’t, Omer. BUT I can.” I did it today. I’m sure I’ll doContinue reading “A Mantra / Prayer”

1 Peter 3-5

Peter continues his letter with more applications–how wives should behave, how husbands, those who are facing persecution, and those who are leading God’s people should behave. Somewhere in all that, he even makes use of Psalm 34. I know this, not because of handy Bible references that are in most Bibles, but because I’ve actuallyContinue reading “1 Peter 3-5”

1 Peter 1-2

Where do I start? This is a difficult letter to understand, upon a first glance. You really have to sit down and spend some time studying it to make sense of what Peter is saying. Warning: I haven’t spent much time with this. These are introductory, cursory remarks. He starts by talking about our salvationContinue reading “1 Peter 1-2”

Zephaniah

The book begins and ends with the same phrase, repeated 6 times: “I will…” In the beginning, the Lord is promising “I will…” in regards to destruction. In the end, the Lord is promising “I will…” in regards to restoration. In 1:12, the Lord punishes complacency. That’s one reason I’m so fearful of growing complacent.Continue reading “Zephaniah”
