    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.

    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.

    A Covert from the Storm | Come Follow Me Sleep Meditation | Isaiah 1–12

    Rest tonight under a promise God has already kept once — a cloud by day and a fire by night over every ordinary house. A Come Follow Me sleep meditation for September 14–20, "God Is My Salvation" (Isaiah 1–12). Isaiah describes a covering the Lord creates over every dwelling place and calls it a place of refuge, a covert from storm and from rain — the same pillar of cloud and fire that walked Israel out of Egypt, offered again to a tired nation. He shows us a mountain with the house of the Lord upon it and people walking toward it unhurried, swords beaten into plowshares, the wolf lying down with the lamb, and a little child leading them. If tomorrow morning you want the other half of this week, the morning meditation stands in the temple with Isaiah for his call, and the bedtime story sits by a stream with a girl who cannot wash a stain out of a piece of cloth. (00:00) Welcome and Settling In (01:10) This Week's Scripture: Isaiah 1–12 (02:20) A Cloud by Day, a Fire by Night (04:20) The Pillar That Led Israel Home (06:00) A Covert from Storm and from Rain (07:40) The Mountain of the Lord's House (09:30) Swords Beaten into Plowshares (11:10) The Wolf and the Lamb (12:40) Behold, God Is My Salvation (14:10) Drifting to Sleep Scriptures: Isaiah 1–12 Come, Follow Me lesson: "God Is My Salvation" Lesson dates: September 14–20 🔔 Follow the show and turn on notifications so you never miss a week.

    One Minute at Midnight | Ark Conspiracy Ch. 34 | Come Follow Me Fiction (He Shall Direct Thy Paths)

    One night. One minute. And a compass needle that is not supposed to move. A Come Follow Me fiction chapter for September 7–13, "He Shall Direct Thy Paths" (Proverbs 1–4; 15–16; 22; 31; Ecclesiastes 1–3; 11–12). This week the Come, Follow Me reading turns to Proverbs and Ecclesiastes — Solomon's collected wisdom, written down so someone coming after him would not have to learn it the hard way. Proverbs makes a quiet promise: lean not to your own understanding, and He shall direct thy paths. Ecclesiastes says the same thing from the other side, in the voice of a man who tried every shortcut and found each season arriving on its own schedule. Both agree on the order of operations. The commitment comes first. The path opens after. Chapter 34 sits inside that order. Noah Reyes has a watch, a promise, and sixteen hours to fill in a room full of men paid to notice things — and the only way through is to stop waiting and start trusting the design his grandfather left him. If this week's reading stays with you, there are three more episodes waiting on the same scriptures: the morning meditation, He Shall Direct Thy Paths, for the start of the day; Resting in the God of Every Season, a sleep meditation for when you cannot make tomorrow come faster; and a bedtime story, The Wise King's Gift of Gentle Words, for the little ones. (00:00) Sixteen Hours (01:45) A Question About His Grandfather (02:50) Volunteers for the Inventory (04:22) Lab Four (06:20) The Guest Quarters (08:17) Eight Words, Eight Points (09:35) What Samuel Left Behind (12:12) Vale Comes to the Table (15:45) A Plan Made Quietly (17:40) Lights Out at Ten (19:24) One Minute at Midnight (20:56) The Swinging Door Scriptures: Proverbs 1–4; 15–16; 22; 31; Ecclesiastes 1–3; 11–12 Come, Follow Me lesson: "He Shall Direct Thy Paths" Lesson dates: September 7–13 🔔 Follow the show and turn on notifications so you never miss a week.
