This week’s devotionals review Bible Truths around; The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, Isaiah chapters: 1, 3, and 6

Jan 19, 2026 “Sin Within, Wounds Begin”

Key Scripture (KJV): Isaiah 1:4 “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity… they have forsaken the LORD… they are gone away backward.”
Isaiah 1:5 “The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.”
Isaiah 1:6 “From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it…”

Today’s thought: Isaiah doesn’t start with politics—he starts with the people’s spiritual condition. Judah looked “normal” on the outside, but inside they were sick from head to toe. This is a picture of what sin does: it doesn’t just affect actions; it infects hearts. When sin gets within, wounds begin.

Before our wings can go up in worship, our hearts must come clean in repentance. God doesn’t heal what we hide; He heals what we bring to Him.

Question time:

1.   Where do I see evidence of spiritual “sickness” in my own life (thoughts, attitudes, habits)?

2.   What wounds have been caused by sin—mine or others—that I need God to heal?

3.   What is one step of repentance I can take today (confession, forgiveness, turning, accountability)?

Prayer: Lord, search me and show me what is sick in my soul. I don’t want to be religious on the outside but broken within. Heal me where sin has wounded me and restore me by Your mercy. Amen. 

Jan 20, 2026 “Dross in Silver, Truth Turns Quiver”

Key Scripture (KJV): Isaiah 1:22 “Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:”

Today’s thought: Isaiah points to something that looked valuable, but had become diluted. Silver had turned to dross. Wine was mixed with water. It’s a picture of a society losing purity—value is corrupted, and what once strengthened now weakens.

We are living in days where many things feel “watered down”—truth, integrity, leadership, even worship. But God is still calling His people to be pure, not polluted; strong, not diluted. When the world loses value, God’s people must hold to virtue.

Question time:

1. Where has my spiritual “silver” become dross—what has lost purity in my walk with God?

2. In what ways has my worship, prayer, or devotion become “mixed with water” (diluted)?

3. What voices, influences, or distractions are watering down my faith right now?

4. What is one thing I can do this week to strengthen my spiritual life (Scripture time, fasting, church, prayer)?

Prayer: Lord, keep my faith from becoming mixed and watered down. Purify my heart and refine my life. Let me be sincere, clean, and holy in a generation that is drifting. Amen. 

Jan 21, 2026 “Thieves in Power, Justice Sour”

Scripture (KJV): Isaiah 1:23 “Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.”

Today’s thought: Isaiah exposes leadership that is rebellious and corrupt, who protect themselves but neglect the hurting. When those in power become companions of thieves, justice becomes sour. The vulnerable are ignored, and righteousness is traded for reward.

But this is where God’s people must lift their wings. We can’t control what leaders do, but we can control how we respond. We respond by praying, standing for truth, living with integrity, and caring for the fatherless and widows the way God commands.

 Question time:

1.   Have I allowed bitterness or anger to grow in my heart because of what I see around me?

2.   Who are the “fatherless” and “widows” in my life—people who need support, prayer, or help?

3.   Where can I live differently than the world by choosing integrity over reward?

4.   What would it look like for me to lift my wings in prayer instead of losing hope in frustration?

Prayer: Lord, help me not to become bitter in a corrupt world. Keep me righteous when others are rebellious. Teach me to care about what You care about, and help me walk in justice, mercy, and truth. Amen. 

Jan 22, 2026  “Babes That Lead, People Bleed”

Scripture (KJV): Isaiah 3:1–4 “For, behold, the Lord… doth take away… the mighty man… the prudent… the ancient…
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.”
Isaiah 3:5 “And the people shall be oppressed… the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient…”
Isaiah 3:12 “As for my people, children are their oppressors…”

Today’s thought: Isaiah describes confusion in leadership and a breakdown in respect: children ruling, oppression increasing, and dishonor toward elders. When wisdom is removed, decisions stop making sense—and people bleed under the weight of disorder.

But God is reminding us: even when the world loses its mind, the church must keep its faith. This is a call for God’s people to be steady, spiritual, and sober. In unstable times, we must lift our wings—cover our face in humility, cover our feet in holiness, and fly in obedience.

Question time:

1. Where do I see confusion and disorder affecting families, communities, or church today?

2. How have I seen respect for elders and authority break down—and how can I be different?

3. In what ways do I need to grow spiritually so I’m not acting like a “child” in my faith?

4. What decisions do I need God’s wisdom for right now, so I don’t lean on emotion or impulse?

Prayer: Lord, keep me from being swept away by confusion. Give me wisdom in a foolish age. Help me honor what is right, respect what is holy, and live with spiritual maturity. Amen. 

Jan 23, 2026 “Throne in Sight, Wings Up Right”

Scripture (KJV): Isaiah 6:1 “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up…”

Isaiah 6:2 “Above it stood the seraphims… with twain he covered his face… with twain he covered his feet… and with twain he did fly.”

Isaiah 6:3 “And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.”

Today’s thought: Isaiah moves from a sinful nation to a sovereign throne. Judah was desolate, but Heaven was not distressed. Kings may die, nations may crumble, and society may decay—but the Lord is still high and lifted up.

The seraphims teach us what to do in troubled times:

• Cover the face — reverence and worship

• Cover the feet — humility and holiness

• Fly — readiness and obedience

And while trouble may be “outside the wings,” their eyes stay fixed on the throne. That’s the call to God’s people today: get your wings up and cry again, “Holy, holy, holy!”

Question time:

1. What has been my “King Uzziah” moment—something I trusted that changed, failed, or died?

2. When I look at the condition of the world, do I still see the Lord “high and lifted up”?

3. What does it mean for me to lift my wings like the seraphims:

• Face covered (reverence)

• Feet covered (holiness)

• Flying (obedience)

4. Where do I need to shift my focus from the chaos below to the throne above?

5. What is one “Holy” response I can give God today—worship, surrender, obedience, or prayer?

Prayer: Lord, lift my eyes above the chaos. Help me see You high and lifted up. Teach me to worship with reverence, walk in holiness, and move in obedience. Let my life cry “Holy” in an unholy world. Amen.
