After a lengthy break due to some internet problems, I'm back and roaring to go. Tonight I have a simple question for you: What is your favorite chapter of the Bible and why? Do you have a favorite chapter? What about a favorite verse?
For me, I'm infatuated with Isaiah 40. Smitten, you might say. It says more about the character of God, the way He relates to the universe, and the way He relates to the individual than any other single chapter I can recall. The words were written 2700 years ago but they contain a lot of application for today. I suggest you read it through, verse 1 to verse 31. Then read it again. What does Isaiah say about God? What does God think of the nations? How does He relate to the individual?
In these hallowed 31 verses, you can find theology that covers the inspiration of the Bible, the justice of God, the tenderness of Jesus the the Good Shepherd, the sovereignty of God, the importance (or unimportance) of the nations, the alertness and concern of God for the individual, and the promise of God to supply the weary with strength. It is a marvelous text. My favorite.
What's your favorite chapter?
