The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 60:11-12
"Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations—
their kings led in triumphal procession.
(Referring to the City of God, the Lord tells His people
not only will they be returned to their city from which they have been exiled,
but they also will experience great peace and prosperity.
People of all nations, even the rulers of nations, will be drawn to Jerusalem,
drawn to the place where the Lord has established His presence.
Today, the picture of the peaceful and prosperous city of God drawing people into it
is also a picture of who we are in the Kingdom of God today.
The lives we live are a dwelling place for the Lord,
and, as He lives His life through us,
we will not only experience peace and prosperity ourselves in Him,
but we will also be a source of His love to others that draws people to Him.)
For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish;
it will be utterly ruined."
(The Lord is so serious about honoring His city, His people,
that He assures us anyone who does not yield to His dominion
not only will never prosper, but also will destroy themselves.
The Lord is calling us today to serve Him,
to come into His place of love and redemption
so that we, too, are saved, so that we do not perish.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
