Isaiah 16

As we prepape for Easter Sunday tomorrow I think its only natural my eye was drawn to the line in today's text (in verse 4) where it says "the enemy will be defeated". Although this text is referring to the people of Moab it holds special relevance to me on Easter Weekend. Easter really is all about the enemy being defeated. How blessed are we to serve God who sent His only Son to defeat our enemy? The blessing gets even better when we read that we are saved by grace thru faith! What an awesome thing to know that our enemy has been defeated and the beautiful power of redemption has set us free from our sin. I am so thankful this Easter weekend for the sacrifice God made by sending His only Son to die for our sins so that our enemy will be defeated!

    "A new government of love will be established in the venerable David tradition. A Ruler you can depend upon will head this government, a Ruler passionate for justice, a Ruler quick to set things right."

    Come, Lord Jesus. Out of the tomb and into our lives.

    As I prepare for Easter I find myself caught up in the busyness of this day. Preparing for breakfast, preparing for the serivce, preparing for dinner later...The problem is I forget to take the time to prepare my mind and thoughts on the reason for our celebration.

    Thank God for the Youth of our church who remind me of the message they will be bringing. Their excitement and dedication to the service tomorrow was just what I needed. They are going to bring a very important message to those who join us at 7am tomorrow.

    Come and be reminded of God's gift to us and how we can spend our lives rejoicing in this gift.
