Day 28 4/19

During my quiet time today, my prayers were focused on three areas...
1.  I prayed over each member in my life group and over the prayer request list collected on Monday
2. I prayed for Legacy, specifically for protection, strength and God's Words for our leaders during this Easter weekend
3. I prayed for Sarah Palin, who I am a big supporter of.  I prayed for spiritual and physical protection for her and her family. I prayed that she not be corrupted by the political world and that she continue to lean on the Lord to be strong and make wise choices. I am a huge political nerd, if you don't know that already :) and I believe it is important to pray for our leaders.

The next several days during my Quiet Time, I plan on working through the 10 exercises presented in Ch. 15  (read purposefully) of the book I am reading and then record my notes here.

I will be reading purpose statements from various passages from books in the Bible, and then determining how the author presents the material (grammatical and literary structure, etc.) to accomplish the purpose. I am also going to try and paraphrase the purpose in my own words as well.

Exercise #4   Isaiah 6:9-13


Okay, this one is tough for me. I'm having trouble understanding this purpose statement. I think I know the main purposes is for Isaiah to "go and tell" people, specifically the Israelites about what is to happen, what they should do, etc. 


I have never really studied Isaiah except for reading some of the prophecy about Jesus, but am not familiar with his style or structure. I feel like I need to take more time to do study his book to come to a more concise conclusion.
