The Spirit of wisdom – Jesus demonstrated it during his earthly ministry.The Spirit of the Lord – a true and living Spirit from God.He is characterized by the seven-fold Spirit’s anointing and empowerment: Verse 2 – The stump of Jesse (father of King David) will be resurrected to give birth to the Messiah. Questions: Does our church community need to let something die, in order that there might be new life? Is it a dream? An idea? A way of being church? Is the church willing to let go of the old to make way for something new? Yes, a shoot can come up from the stump of Jesse. Is such a thing even possible? How can something that died bring forth new life? Nature shows us this reality in countless ways. God’s creation points to resurrection. However, before the new comes, the old has to go. Verse 1 – A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse. (adapted from This devotion focuses on the Messiah. Isaiah’s message of hope pointed to the future, with a two-part vision of the Messiah and the coming Kingdom of God. The people of Israel were filled with fear as the Assyrian army threatened what was left of the world as they knew it. Isaiah preached hope in a time of terror and justice in a time of oppression. With the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.Īnd faithfulness the sash around His waist. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth
With justice He will give decisions for the poor of the earth. Or decide by what He hears with His ears Ĥ but with righteousness He will judge the needy, He will not judge by what He sees with His eyes, The Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord-ģ and He will delight in the fear of the Lord. The Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse Ģ The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him.
