The Lord God Will Help Me |
Isaiah 50:1-11 The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
The Lord says [this,] Where is the [certificate] of your mother's [divorce,] whom I have put away? Or which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold you? [Look,] you have sold yourselves for your [sins] & your mother is put away for your transgressions. |
[Why,] when I came, wasn't there [any] man? When I called [out,] there [were] none to answer? Is My hand at all shortened, that it can't redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? [See,] at My [scolding,] I dry up the sea & I make rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink, because there is no water & [the fish] die for thirst. |
[Psalm 106:7-11 Our [forefathers didn't understand] Your wonders in Egypt. Then [didn't remember] the multitude of Your mercies; but provoked Him at the sea, even at the Red Sea. [Still,] He saved them for His Name's sake, [so] that He might make His mighty power to be known. |
He also [scolded] the Red Sea & it was dried up. So He led them through the depths, [like] through the wilderness. And He saved them from the hand of [those who] hated them & redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. And the waters covered their enemies & there wasn't one of them left.] |
I clothe the heavens with blackness & I make sackcloth their covering. [Exodus 10:21 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward heaven, [so] that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.] |
The Lord God has given Me the tongue of the learned, [a.k.a. educated, so] that I should know how to speak a word [at the appropriate time,] to him, [who] is [tired.] He wakes morning by morning & He [awakens] My ear to hear, [like] the [educated.] |
*The Lord God has opened [My] ear & I wasn't rebellious, neither [did I turn] away [My] back. *I gave My back to the [smitters, a.k.a people, who struck Him] & My cheeks to [those who] plucked off the hair. I [didn't hide] My face from shame & spitting. |
[Mark 15:15-20 And so Pilate, willing to [satisfy] the people, released Barabas to them & when he had Him [whipped,] delivered Jesus, to be crucified. And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, called Praetorium & they [called] together the whole band. |
And they clothed Him with purple & [wove] a crown of thorns & put it [around] His head & began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they [struck] Him on the head with a reed & did spit upon Him. And bowing their knees, they worshiped Him. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him & led Him out to crucify Him.] |
For the Lord God will help Me. Therefore I shall not be [overwhelmed.] Therefore, I have set My face like a flint & I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near, [Who] justifies Me. Who will [argue] with Me? Let us stand together. Who is [My] adversary? Let him come near to Me. Who is he, [who] shall condemn Me? |
[Look,] they all shall [grow] old [like] a garment. The moth shall eat them up. [Psalm 102:25-27 Of old, You have laid the foundation of the earth. And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They shall perish, but You shall endure. [Yes,] all of them shall [grow] old like a garment. You shall change them like a [robe] & they shall be changed. But You are the same & Your years have no end.] |
Who is among you, [who] fears [respects] the Lord, that obeys the voice of His servant & [follows] in darkness & has no light? Let him trust in the Name of the Lord & stay [focused] upon his God. |
[Watch,] you, [who start] a fire & [surround] yourselves with sparks. Walk in the light of your fire & in the sparks that you have kindled. [Psalm 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied, that [hurry] after another god. I won't offer their drink offerings of [bloodshed,] nor take up their name into My lips.] |
You shall have [this from My] hand & you shall lie down in sorrow. |
