Be Comforted (Isaiah)

Overview

Wiersbe's "Be" Series on the Old Testament—Practical, devotional, and concise describes the "Be" series. Each of these mini-commentaries contains a wealth of practical insight into God's Word.

At a time when empires were rising and falling and his nation was in peril, it was Isaiah who wrote, "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength" (Is. 30:15, NKJV). This major book in the Old Testament provides God's people with comfort, but not in the sense that we often view comfort today. When Isaiah says "Be comforted!" his words are not intended for pity but for power and strength.

Be Comforted details the lives of Isaiah and many powerful rulers of his day. This powerful resource guides the reader through the turbulent years of Isaiah's life and shows that while he trusted God and lived out his faith, the prophet pointed to another who would be the ultimate embodiment of service: Jesus Christ.
