Overview

Wiersbe's "Be" Series on the Old Testament—Practical, devotional, and concise describes the "Be" series. Each of these mini-commentaries contains a wealth of practical insight into God's Word.

At a time when empires were rising and falling and his nation was in peril, it was Isaiah who wrote, "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength" (Is. 30:15, NKJV). This major book in the Old Testament provides God's people with comfort, but not in the sense that we often view comfort today. When Isaiah says "Be comforted!" his words are not intended for pity but for power and strength.

Be Comforted details the lives of Isaiah and many powerful rulers of his day. This powerful resource guides the reader through the turbulent years of Isaiah's life and shows that while he trusted God and lived out his faith, the prophet pointed to another who would be the ultimate embodiment of service: Jesus Christ.

“God does not deliberately make sinners blind, deaf, and hard-hearted; but the more that people resist God’s truth, the less able they are to receive God’s truth. But the servant is to proclaim the Word no matter how people respond, for the test of ministry is not outward success but faithfulness to the Lord.” (Page 30)

“When you behold the greatness of God, then you will see everything else in life in its proper perspective.” (Page 110)
