Observation: These are the scriptures - the old testament the Jews had centuries before Christ - and this is a published prophesy. It is now obvious this prophesy was fulfilled ~600 years later, in the crucifixion of Jesus and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
Application: I don't know enough about the old testament. For example, I have always believed that prophesy about the Messiah was primarily limited to Isaiah. However, Messiah keeps popping up everywhere in the "minor prophets" too! No wonder the Jews were so convinced and aware of his coming - their scriptures were full of him!!!
I have now completed one month of daily devotions. I missed my reading only twice, and blogged almost 15-20 times. I love what I am learning, and what I am seeing. And I really love getting to spend time dedicated in thought to God and Jesus every day.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for assisting me in setting my feet upon your path. I yearn to grow closer to you, and to join with you in your will and your way. By your grace, please guide my daily life, as I seek to humbly supplicate to your daily guidance. Thank you for loving me. Amen.
