Isaiah - 21
Our refuge comes from the Lord. The suffering described by Isaiah is palatable. Isaiah's third verse describes his gut wrenching pain with the knowledge of what is to befall Babylon and its people. All power is from God, the Father, everything else turns to dust and so this is the case with this mighty city. Their riches and idols could not keep them safe from this fate. When God sent Jesus to save us He once again showed how infinite His love for us is. Through His Son there is nothing to fear and all suffering is vanquished, Christ's death for our sins and resurrection by the Father is the ultimate victory. Praise God!

Preach it, brother. My favorite part today was, "A voice calls to me from the Seir mountains in Edom, 'Night watchman! How long till daybreak? How long will this night last?' The night watchman calls back, 'Morning's coming!'"
ReplyDeleteOur "night" lasted 40 days with the darkest day of all being Good Friday. Now the morning is here. He is risen! Let's live in the light of the Lord during these 50 days of Easter.
Imagine if we had 255 in worship every Sunday...
