Greetings! What do you glean from Isaiah 5: 20-23? It’s about the woes.
Greetings 👋 Here’s some encouragement from Matthew 5, for fellow believers undergoing trials.
Here’s what I have been meditating over the past three days of travel travail. I was stranded in Western NC, Thursday and Friday.
“O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.
You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.
You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!
I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!
If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.
If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. Psalm 139: 1-10 (NLT).
One does not need to KNOW God to be called and USED by him. Believers, however, need to KNOW him to walk in power. We must not touch his GLORY by taking CREDIT for His actions.
“And why have I called you for this work?
Why did I call you by name when you did not know me? It is for the sake of Jacob my servant, Israel my chosen one.
I am the Lord; there is no other God.
I have equipped you for battle, though you don’t even know me, so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
I create the light and make the darkness.
I send good times and bad times. I, the Lord, am the one who does these things.”
Isaiah 45: 4-7 (NLT).
NEVER TAKE CREDIT FOR GOD’S WORK!
Greetings 👋
We need not live in fear. God offers comfort to HIS PEOPLE!
“But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” Isaiah 43: 1-2 (NIV).
REMEMBER HE LOVES AND SEES US!
