    The Name God Wrote on His Hand | Come Follow Me Bedtime Story | Isaiah 40–49

    A gentle bedtime story about the night God told His children He had written their names on His hands. A Come Follow Me bedtime story for September 28 to October 4, "Comfort Ye My People" (Isaiah 40 to 49). Tonight's story takes children to a camp of little cooking fires beside a slow river, far from home. These were God's people, living a long way from Jerusalem, and some of the children there had never seen it. After a long time away they began to wonder whether God had forgotten them. God sent His prophet Isaiah with an answer that began with a question instead of a scolding: can a mother forget her baby? Then came the words they remembered forever, that He had carved their names on the palms of His hands. If your little one asks for more of this week, the morning meditation opens on a messenger sent up a high mountain with good tidings, and the sleep meditation sits with the same exiles and hears God answer them by name.

    Comfort Ye My People | Come Follow Me Morning Meditation | Isaiah 40–49

    Begin today with the first word God spoke to a weary people. A Come Follow Me morning meditation for September 28 to October 4, "Comfort Ye My People" (Isaiah 40 to 49). This week Isaiah's message turns. The warnings grow quiet, and a single word opens chapter 40, spoken twice to a people too tired to hear it once. A messenger is sent up a high mountain with good tidings and given four words to carry: behold your God. Isaiah is honest that even the young grow weary, and then he promises that they who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, mount up with wings as eagles, run and not be weary, and walk and not faint. If this one meets you where you are, the sleep meditation this week sits with the exiles who thought God had stopped noticing them and hears Him answer with their own name, and the bedtime story tells children about the night God said He had carved their names on His hands.

    I Have Called Thee by Thy Name | Come Follow Me Sleep Meditation | Isaiah 40–49

    Rest tonight in the moment God answered a people who thought He had stopped noticing them. A Come Follow Me sleep meditation for September 28 to October 4, "Comfort Ye My People" (Isaiah 40 to 49). These chapters were written for people living far from home, in exile, long after their city and their temple were gone. Somewhere in that waiting they began to say a quiet sentence: my way is hid from the Lord. God does not argue with them. He answers with their own name, and with the promise that has carried people through their worst nights since — when thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee. Not around the deep water. Through it. If you want the same week in a different key, the morning meditation opens on the messenger sent up a high mountain with good tidings, and the bedtime story tells children about the night God said He had carved their names on His hands.

    The Head Start | Ark Conspiracy Ch. 36 | Come Follow Me Fiction (A Marvellous Work and a Wonder)

    The lights go out on schedule, the plan works, and then halfway down a rope the thing holding Noah rips out of the ice. A Come Follow Me fiction chapter for September 21-27, "A Marvellous Work and a Wonder" (Isaiah 13-14; 22; 24-30; 35). This week Isaiah speaks to a Jerusalem that keeps propping itself up with treaties and walls and clever plans. He tells them about Eliakim, a steward fastened like a nail in a sure place, and about a cornerstone God lays in Zion, a tried stone and a sure foundation, meant for people whose own foundations are about to give way. Under the ice at the top of the world, Noah Reyes, Rachel, and Eli spend everything they have on a plan that does exactly what it was built to do and still leaves them standing in front of a wall. What catches Noah is not the plan. It is Eli, who never let go of the rope. If this chapter is where you came in, the rest of the week is waiting for you. Monday's morning meditation, A Marvellous Work and a Wonder, sits with the same Isaiah chapters in about ten quiet minutes. The sleep meditation, Where the Parched Ground Becomes a Pool, is the long one for the end of a hard day. And The Shelter God Made for the Storm is this week's bedtime story if there are younger ears in the house.

    The Shelter God Made for the Storm | Come Follow Me Bedtime Story | Isaiah 25

    A gentle story about a shelter built long before anyone needed it. A Come Follow Me bedtime story for September 21 to 27, "A Marvellous Work and a Wonder" (Isaiah 13-14; 22; 24-30; 35). Isaiah paints pictures with words, and one of his warmest is a shelter. He says God is a refuge from the storm and a shadow from the heat. Tonight's story follows a girl named Adah and her little brother Eli on a hot hillside at the end of the barley harvest, and the small stone shelter their grandfather carried up that hill one stone at a time, because someday, he said, someone I love is going to need it. When the rain comes they are already inside, with warm bread and figs and honey, and a grandmother who tells them what the prophet promised: that God does not always make the hard things go away, but always gives us somewhere to be while they pass. And she tells them the most beautiful part, from Isaiah 25, that one day God will make a feast on the mountain for everybody, and will wipe away the tears from off all faces. If the grown-ups in the house want the same week in their own language, the morning meditation sits in Isaiah 29 with the sealed book nobody could open, and the sleep meditation goes out to Isaiah 35, where the parched ground becomes a pool.

    A Marvellous Work and a Wonder | Come Follow Me Morning Meditation | Isaiah 29

    Begin today with the promise God made to people who felt too ordinary to be part of anything holy. A Come Follow Me morning meditation for September 21 to 27, "A Marvellous Work and a Wonder" (Isaiah 13-14; 22; 24-30; 35). This week Isaiah moves from warning to wonder. In Isaiah 29 a sealed book is handed first to a man who can read and then to a man who cannot, and neither one can open it. Into that closed moment God answers, therefore I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder. He promises the deaf will hear the words of the book, the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity, and the meek will increase their joy. Isaiah lays a sure foundation stone in Zion and adds the line that makes an unhurried morning possible: he that believeth shall not make haste. If this is the first episode you have found this week, there are two more waiting. The sleep meditation goes to Isaiah 35, where the parched ground becomes a pool and the desert blossoms. The bedtime story takes the children to a small stone shelter on a hillside, and the promise that God wipes away every tear.

    The Parched Ground Shall Become a Pool | Come Follow Me Sleep Meditation | Isaiah 35

    Rest tonight in the promise Isaiah made to ground that had given up expecting anything. A Come Follow Me sleep meditation for September 21 to 27, "A Marvellous Work and a Wonder" (Isaiah 13-14; 22; 24-30; 35). Isaiah 35 is written to a people who had watched good things fall apart. Cities emptied, harvests thinned, a whole landscape gone dry and quiet. Into that dryness the prophet says the wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose, and the parched ground shall become a pool. He tells them to strengthen the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees, and says to those of a fearful heart, be strong, fear not, your God will come and save you. Then he shows them a highway called the way of holiness, built wide enough that the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. Alongside it this meditation carries Isaiah 26: with my soul have I desired thee in the night, and, thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. Two more episodes are waiting from the same week if you want the promise in daylight or in a child's voice. The morning meditation sits in Isaiah 29 with the sealed book nobody could open. The bedtime story takes the little ones to a stone shelter on a hillside, built long before the storm ever came.

    Whose Side Are You On | Ark Conspiracy Ch. 35 | Come Follow Me Fiction (God Is My Salvation)

    Caught red-handed, Noah gives the man hunting him nothing, then hands the woman who took his mother a letter he never read. Come Follow Me fiction for September 14–20, "God Is My Salvation" (Isaiah 1–12): The Ark Conspiracy, Chapter 35. This chapter walks beside Isaiah 1–12, where the prophet warns a people who have gone badly wrong and, in the same breath, offers them a way back before they have earned one: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. In a freezing research station at the top of the world, seventeen-year-old Noah Reyes has to decide what to do with the one person on the other side who might still be reachable, Dr. Kassandra Voss, while Jason Vale and his men wait to follow him wherever the compass pointed. It is not a very good plan. It is the only one they have. New to the story? It begins with the Prologue, and every chapter is here in the feed in order. This week's Come, Follow Me episodes go together: the morning meditation "God Is My Salvation" opens the week, the sleep meditation "Sheltered Beneath the Cloud of His Peace" closes the day, and the bedtime story "The Cloth That Turned as White as Snow" tells the scarlet-and-snow promise for the youngest listeners.
