This week’s Reflection & Discussion Questions
(Leaders: Copy and paste these into your groups. If you do not have a group, use these for a personal time of reflection.)
Chapter 6
King Uzziah was a good king and in the year that he died, Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on his throne, high and lifted up. Though Israel was being rebellious to God, God was still on this throne. The train of his robe filled the temple. This temple was not the one in Jerusalem but the heavenly temple. The train must have been amazing! Angelic creatures surrounded his throne calling out, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.” The temple shook and was filled with smoke.
Pause and take in this majestic view of God. In the midst of all the chaos, where was God? He was still on his throne, in complete control. When Isaiah compared himself to God, he was afraid because of his sinfulness, but then God atoned for his sin and took away his guilt. What a beautiful picture of amazing grace. God has given us this same amazing grace, through his son Jesus. Does the world around you seem chaotic? Is there something you are worried about today? How does seeing God as he is, on his throne reigning in all his glory and authority, bring you peace?
Chapter 7
The prophecy of Isaiah 7:14 is one of the most famous prophecies in the Bible. Matthew 1:22-23 says, “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us)”. So, according to Matthew, the virgin is Mary and the son is Jesus.
Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14. He is both God and man and his deity is what makes him able to be our savior. He is Immanuel – God with us! He came to both live and die, so that we would not have to die, but rather live with him. Do you sometimes feel alone or lonely? When or why do you feel this way? How does remembering that you are never alone, and God is always with you, help you feel less alone?
Chapter 8
The Assyrians were about to invade Judah. As they waited, Isaiah reminded them not to sit and wait on their enemies but instead to wait on the Lord. He wanted them to take their focus off of the Assyrian army and instead focus on God and put their hope in him.
When we are fearful, God wants us to trust in him. Waiting on him means that we will not focus on all the things we fear the most but instead be paying attention to God’s every move. Is there something you are afraid of today? How can you shift your thoughts from focusing on the thing you fear most, to focusing on God and putting your hope in him?
Chapter 9
Jesus’ birth fulfilled this prophecy. He came as both fully God and fully man and his names describe who he is and what he can do. He is a Wonderful Counselor. There is no one more qualified to guide your life than him. He is the Mighty God. He is the one worthy of all worship and praise. He is the Everlasting Father. He has no beginning and no end. He is the Prince of Peace. When we trust in him, he causes our hearts to be at peace.
In what area of your life do you need counsel? Is something stealing your peace today? Write it below and then be still. Remember that Jesus is a Wonderful Counselor and the Prince of Peace. He wants you to come to him with your worries and concerns. He is a mighty God who is with you and loves you. Pray and put your trust in him.
Chapter 10
Israel and their leaders had forsaken the poor in their times of need. They had no mercy for the weak. And so, in their times of need, there would be no mercy for them. Without God, they had no protection or strength against their enemies. God used their enemies to judge them. Essentially, Assyria was doing the Lord’s work when they went into battle against Israel, Judah and Syria. They were God’s instruments of wrath.
In the book of Isaiah, we see the sovereignty of God through fulfilled prophecy in how he uses Israel’s enemies to judge them. This shows us how God can use things that seem bad in our lives, for our good. Name a time when you faced painful opposition but later saw the good in it? God cares about how you are treated, and he loves you. Keep trusting in him.
