The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 60:15-16
"Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through,
(Speaking about His beloved Jerusalem, the Lord acknowledges the city's ruins,
that the place and its inhabitants have been despised,
that the city streets are deserted with no one, tragaically,
even interested in going there to the City of God.)
I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations.
(Now, the Lord declares He will restore and rebuild the city and His people,
causing both to be honored and revered because these are where
the Lord has chosen to place His Name and honor.)
You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts.
Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior,
your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
(Bringing nurturing sustenance and high honor to His people,
the Lord will ensure that all know Who He is and that He is the One Who reigns,
that He is the One Who provides redemption and salvation, that He is God Almighty.
When we think that the world is against us,
when we think that the situations in our lives are beyond repair,
here is the clarion declaration that the Lord calls out.
He reminds us He is Mighty God. Period.
He will prevail in even the worst places of our lives,
not because we have achieved our own worth,
but because He has declared worth in us through His choosing us.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
