Interwoven from Genesis to Revelation

In the past three days' "quiet times" I've focused on two verses and one section, a verse and section in Romans, and a verse in Isaiah, and in todays study of Isaiah the surrounding verses related right back to Romans.


Focus Verse:
Romans 8:11
“But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”

References:
2 Corinthians 4:11-15 “For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you. And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.”

"Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you." - Acts 2:24 "whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it."
"He who raised Christ from the dead" - 1 Corinthians 6:14 "And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power." (15)"Do ou not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ andmake them members of a harlot? Certainly not!" --> (relates back to) Romans 8:4-7 "...that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (5) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. (6) For to be carnally mindedis death, but to be spritually minded is life and peace. (7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be."

Focus Verse:
Romans 8:5
"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit."

References:
1 Corinthians 6:15
2 Corinthians 4:18 - "...while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." (v. 16-18 relate back to the third verse of study: Isaiah 40:31)

Focus Verse:
Isaiah 40:31
"But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."

References:
"wait on the LORD" - Isaiah 30:15 "For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.’ (16) But you would not, And you said, ‘No, for we will flee on horses’ -- Therefore you shall flee! And, ‘We will ride on swift horses’ -- Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!”
Isaiah 49:23 - "‘Kings shall be your foster fathers, And their queens your nursing mothers; They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, And lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD, Fore they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.’ ” (24) “Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, Or the captives of the righteous be delivered?”

"Shall renew their strength" - Psalm 103:5 - "Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
2 Corinthians 4:8-10 - "We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; (9)persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed --- (10) always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.”
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 - "Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, (18) while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
Job 17:9 "Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.” (v. 18 relating back to Romans 8:5)
