Isaiah 40:10-11 ~ 10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. KJV
The book of Isaiah clearly spells out the sins of God’s people—and if we are honest with ourselves, we might find things in our own lives that might fall under Isaiah’s critique of injustice. How do we treat family, friends, co-workers, or even strangers. Are we unkind, or rude? Isaiah’s message is also a call for believers to come back to purity in our love for God and for our neighbors. God is very very patient, as we see His Treatment of His Children throughout the Bible. It pains Him greatly when we sin, but He is forever merciful and waiting with His "strong hand" to bring us back to Him.
The blessings of God are NOT by accident. He wants to see us excel and live prosperous lives, just as we want the same for our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He is the one that makes all good things happen in our lives, and we should be showing Him much gratitude, but we sometimes just go along in our daily walk without one thought of God the Father, the Son, or the Holy Ghost. Iti isn't that we don't love God, or that we are not saved, it just means He is not our priority, and He should be.
I am blessed to have a Godly husband, to labor beside great Christians because they are a help to me and my spirituality. As I love to repeat, it is hard to get away from Someone who says, "I will never leave you!" We surely are blessed! So, what can the everyday Christian do to ensure that we do not offend God in sin. Read our Bibles daily, study the Word, pray, attend every church meeting or function. Surround ourselves with fellow Christians. God will bless! I promise! And because we do live in the flesh, when we sin, repent and ask for forgiveness IMMEDIATELY, HIS MERCY IS GREAT!
May God Help us to study His Word with a will to learn ourselves, but also to share of the knowledge we gain by keeping us in the will of God.
HE CARES! Do You Know HIM? Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen. With love and prayers, may we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
