As I read through Isaiah I think of a nation that could have been with God, after all God was pleading with Israel to come to him. Isaiah 1:18-20 states. “Come, let us discuss this matter together. It is as if your evil life has stained you a deep red. But I can remove the stain completely. I can make you as clean as new snow. Even if your stain is of the deepest red, I can make you as white as wool. v19 Let me help you. If you are willing to obey me, you will eat all the crops of the land. v20 But if you refuse to obey me, your enemies will destroy you. I am the Lord. I have spoken.” When I think of the United States I can not help but also think of the book of Isaiah. As many would agree; God has not specifically blessed the United States. But many would also agree that God has blessed many people within the United States. I feel this to be true with the Kingdom of Israel around 700BC when the book of Isaiah was being written. In verse 19 it states, ”I can make you clean as snow”, it seems God is saying that He does want to bless Israel. What do you think? Do you think God has specifically blessed the United States?

Throughout the book of Lamentations the people can only blame themselves for the destruction that is happening.  If you notice throughout the entire  Old Testament the people sin against God then God shows His grace to His people.  The same is true with the setting/plot of Lamentations.  The people cause destruction then the people try bettering themselves through true repentance.  Like the people of the Old Testament, do you find yourself causing destruction?  Then does God come to your rescue?

In the book of Ecclesiastes the author touches on the meaning of life.  The author also touches on how life is miserable and also very good.  But one thing the author does not touch on is eternal life.  Why does the author not touch on eternal life?  Or can Ecclesiastes be translated where the author does touch on eternal life?
