🎺 Isaiah 30

Isaiah 30 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, ““Woe to the rebellious children”, says Yahweh, “who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,” That is not a motto invented for a poster.

Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Isaiah 30? Then try this: Read “For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
