Sunday Devotional – This week’s lesson takes us back to the Prophet Isaiah as he foretells of how the Lord God’s offering on behalf of all of mankind (Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12) was abused, beaten and humiliated.

In dedicated detail, God uses Isaiah to paint a vivid description of what was permitted by his divine wisdom to demonstrate his love (John 3:16, Rom. 5:8). We, who are the beloved of God are reminded that we are loved with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3).

Take this special opportunity to reflect and meditate on the depth, width and the extent of God’s love for us. How we can live in confidence and hope regardless of the varied circumstances and situations we may find ourselves.

A few years ago I posed a question to the women’s Bible class that would help us to know one another better, the question was “Who Am I?” I instructed them to write out their responses and to return them to me. I was truly amazed at some the responses. For instance, one lady wrote a full summary of her relationship with Jesus Christ and how much she loved working in ministry and that she knew that God loved her, etc. etc.  And another told me that “God didn’t want her to spill out her sins of the past”

I was totally dumbfounded by those responses? Had I not the assignment clear  enough? However, the majority of them responded appropriately. Please, understand, that I realize that not all of us are on the same page and therefore, confusion and misunderstandings happens. It’s the same thing among the body of Christ, sad to say, there is much confusion among the saints in their knowledge (or their lack of knowledge of Who Is God).

In the next few weeks I will be sharing information that will for some enhance our knowledge of God, and for others to grow in their knowledge of who God is.  We will be looking at the attributes of God. Hoping that you will follow along. Joan
