Memory verse: Isa 6:3
In order to be prepared for this week's study read Isaiah chapters 38-39.
Chapter 38 is about Hezekiah's illness and recovery. His prayer of thanksgiving is very moving. But then in chapter 39 a number of strange things happen that I have pondered for many years. (It might help you to get the full picture to read 2 Kings 20:12-21 as well.) Give some thoughts to the following questions and see what you think:
1. Are there some things worse than dying young?
2. Are there some things more important than peace and security at the close of life?
3. What does it mean to leave a "legacy"?

Lesson 18: Preparation for our August 6th Study
Our memory verse: Isa 6:3
We are going to continue in Isaiah chapter 6 this coming week with an emphasis on verses 8-13. This can be a very perplexing passage. To prepare for it, think through the following:
1. Did Isaiah receive a desirable task? Explain your reasoning.
2. What clue do we have that Isaiah was not looking forward to the ministry God had called him to?
3. What kind of application can we make in our day? After all, we live in a nation that appears to no longer be particularly receptive to the Gospel--is there reason for us to persevere against opposition in our day?
