Well, good evening and welcome to our midweek Bible study on Thursday nights.

We're going through the Bible book by book and chapter by chapter and verse by verse.

And tonight we find ourselves in the book of Isaiah.

We finished chapter 9 last week and tonight, Lord willing, we're going to make it through

to chapter 10. And then because it's the first of the month we are at the conclusion

of our time going to partake together of the communion table we encourage you those of

you that are joining us online if you want to take this time to get the elements

ready so you can partake with us as we

know many of you do what a blessing to us to know that and so we welcome you we're glad that

you're joining with us so why don't we pray before we get started tonight really looking forward

to our time together in God's word

amazing chapter I know I say that every week but this is a really interesting

chapter so let's pray we'll ask God to bless our time loving Heavenly Father

we're needing for you now to just settle our hearts and quiet our minds as only you can.

And just enable us to focus and concentrate and really listen to what it is that the Spirit would say to us your church.

Lord, we want to have ears to hear. And Lord, when you speak, we don't want to just be hearers of your word.

We want to be doers too. And so Lord tonight I know that

you're going to speak. You always do. It's not a question of if you're speaking or not. The question

is are we hearing and taking heed to your word? So Lord bless our time together tonight and speak. Your

servants are listening. We ask you for this in Jesus name. Amen and amen. All right. I want to

talk to you tonight about both why it is and how it is that God is the only one who gets the glory. How cliche, right? I mean we sing it, we know it, we read it, we hear it. But chapter

10 here in Isaiah provides us with profound life lessons in this regard.
