I just finished reading the Book of Mormon again, and I thought to myself what now? It always takes a few days of wondering what angle I should take on studying my scriptures to start up again. Well, I've never read Isaiah all the way through, and I decided I would take a stab at it. I wish I could go back to BYU and sit in on a class about Isaiah, because its not an easy book to get through. In fact, I still don't understand about 95% of it. That being said, I think it is still one of my favorite books in all of scripture, because of the few things I do understand. Here are some of my personal favorite scripture passage gems from Isaiah:
Isaiah 1:18 - Such a beautiful and comforting scripture to know that the Lord forgives and forgets our sins if we truly repent.
Isaiah 29:14- I love reading about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon in the bible.
Isaiah 40: 11-12, 29,31- This scripture just brings me comfort and helps me to feel the love of the Savior every time I read it.
Isaiah 41:10-13 Another favorite of all time.- This scripture helped me really get through a trial at one point in my life. And I'm sure will continue to help me get through more trials. I love knowing the Lord is there to strengthen us when we are weak, to lift us up when we are down.
Isaiah 43:7- This scripture makes me feel claimed. I love knowing where I came from, and who I am.
Isaiah 52:7, 12- This scripture is motivational, it makes me want to publish tidings of peace and do good continually.
Isahah 53, all of it- The poetry of this scripture blows me away. It is such a powerful chapter. And makes me yet again so grateful for the griefs that the Savior bore on our behalf."With his stripes we are healed". I love that.
Isaiah 58:6- Some of the most beautiful blessings of obeying the law of the fast.
and
Isaiah 58: 14- Blessings of keeping the sabbath day holy.
