James 1:27

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the
Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let
the world corrupt you.

Isaiah's name

I looked up the meaning of Isaiah (finally) and it means "salvation from God" . I looked up the word salvation and this is what it said


sal·va·tion/salˈvāSHən/Noun
1. Deliverance from sin and its consequences.
2. Preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss


I especially love number 2! God delivered Isaiah from harm, ruin, or loss; in his birth family. How perfect is that?! He has SUCH great plans for him and we are so excited and honored to be a part of them.

The book of Isaiah in the Bible is really an incredible book. I am going to be reading it some more and blogging about it. I know a central theme is salvation; that we are ADOPTED as sons and daughters of our King- through nothing we can or ever will do to deserve it, but because of Jesus Christ. Amen.
