Today we read the third chapter of The Apostle Paul’s letter to the Colossians and three chapters of Isaiah.
August 23: Colossians 3, Isaiah 36, Isaiah 37, Isaiah 38 (click on the chapter to begin reading).
Colossians 3. Paul listed the rules for holy living; not carnality but Christ, the character of the New Man and proper relationships in the christian home.
Isaiah 36. Isaiah broke from prophecy and gave a historical rendition, duplicated in 2 Kings. This is not plagiarism, Isaiah was the scribe during Hezekiah’s reign.
Isaiah 37. Jerusalem’s deliverance is foretold, Hezekiah’s prayer and the word of the LORD concerning Sennacherib is recorded, and Hezekiah’s final fall.
Isaiah 38 describes Hezekiah’s illness and how the LORD added 15 years to his life.
