Good evening and welcome to our midweek Bible study. We're so glad that you're joining with us.

Tonight we are in Isaiah and we're going to Lord will he make it through chapter 45.

But for those of you online you might want to at this time get the elements because at the conclusion of our Bible study we're going to partake together of communion together.

Also while you're doing that, just by way of a reminder, I want to let you know that.

I'm taking two weeks off. I'm not going anywhere except to the throne actually, to petition

the throne and seek the Lord. So looking forward

to having my assistant pastor, Pastor Mack, fill in and teach in my place. And he will

be here for the next two weeks this upcoming Sunday and then the following Thursday and then the following Sunday and

the following Thursday and then Lord willing I'll be back on Sunday, October 24th.

I really mean this when I say this and ask this, but I really covet your prayers specifically

for clarity as I seek the Lord concerning everything that's going on today.

It is so, I don't know how to say it. I mean, it's just, there are so many unknowns, there's so much

we don't know. And when we don't know, we know

that we can go to the one who does know.

And that's exactly what I'm going to be doing.

I'm going to be spending a lot of time in prayer, a lot of time in the Word, a lot of time

seeking the Lord, spending time with the Lord that I would

not otherwise have were I in the pulpit. So I'm not going anywhere. I'll still be on

island, I'll be here. But I just need to get alone with Jesus. And I need to talk with

him and I need to hear from him concerning everything that

is happening.

There's just so many things that are happening.
