Read Isaiah 48:12-22 KNOW (what does the text say about God?)BE (What does the text say about us?)DO (what is the text calling me to do?) Take time today to think through those questions from this passage. KNOW: BE: DO: REFLECTION OF THE YEAR As you end this year, what are a couple things you would like to do differently …

As the year of 2019 winds down, we will also wind down in Isaiah. I am trying to make a practice of “remembering”.

BE (What does the text say about us?)DO (what is …
