The initiation of a blog...

I love analogies.

The God I serve is all about them as well. The Bible is fraught with parables, similes, analogies, word pictures, allegories... all to make us understand His Word and Will better.

I have no idea (or goals for) how often I will be posting the analogies I see and learn...
I am also definitely NOT a writer. I use way too many paranthesis, ellipses, all caps... so please correct my spelling and grammar if need be! ;)

Make comments, challenge me...
Thanks for reading!

Isaiah 2- The DREAD of the Lord

Three times in Isaiah chapter 2, it speaks of the Dread of the Lord... that one day every one will see the glory of His splendor and majesty and they will hide under rocks and caves from dread of the Lord.

And then it has the summation/application of that dread in verses 5 and 22. Or as one commentator puts it- the vision is translated into action.

verse 5- "Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD."

verse 22 (final verse of chapter)- "Stop trusting in man,who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?"

Let us let the splendor of His majesty lead us to walk in the light and stop trusting in man!
