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 are in Isaiah

chapter 64 and after tonight, well, Lord willing I should say, there are only two more chapters

and we're done with this amazing book. So I'm not in any

hurry if you couldn't tell. We're only going to do one chapter tonight and I'll explain

why here in a moment but why don't we pray first and just ask God to bless our Bible study

tonight if you would please join with me.

Father in heaven, thank you so much. Lord, we're just so thankful to you in love with you.

Lord, tonight we just really need for you to settle us down and quiet our minds and settle

our hearts.

We want to devote this time to you and in so doing give you our undivided attention. Lord, we don't want any distractions or anything

that would take our minds away so that our minds are wandering. Lord, we just want to focus

and we need the Holy Spirit to help us focus and concentrate so

we can receive what it is that you have for us tonight. And Lord, I know that you have

a word for us tonight. And we're looking forward to you speaking that word into our lives,

into our hearts. Lord, we readily admit and confess

and acknowledge that we are needy people, especially with everything that's happening

in the world today. Lord, we're hungry, we're thirsty and we want to drink from that water that you have to offer

so that we never thirst again because only you can satiate that thirst that we have in our souls.

So Lord, would you do that? Will you speak clearly? No distractions, nothing, Lord. We want

to hear you speak in that still small voice. So Lord, speak. Your servants are listening.

We pray in Jesus' name. Amen and amen and amen all right so I made the decision this last
