All right, good evening and welcome to our midweek Bible study on Thursday nights. We're going through the Bible.

Book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. And we are almost done with Isaiah. One more chapter left. No hurry.

We want to savor this. So chapter 65 tonight and Lord willing, chapter 66, the last chapter

So, Lord, please help us focus and concentrate because we don't want to miss anything that you have for us tonight.

We're hungry, Lord, and we're thirsty and we're needy.

We're a needy people.

And Lord, we know that only you can satiate that need that we have.

So, Lord, will you?

We ask you in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. All right. So the chapter

before tonight is one of those places in God's word. There are many, but this is one of those places
