The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 60:22
"The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation.
(The Lord has taken an insignificant and small people,
first from the beginning lineage of Adam and then of Abraham,
to form a group of people who made up the nation of Israel.
Then from that body of people, from the spiritual lineage of Christ,
He has widened His chosen people to include us Gentiles,
calling all of us to make a mighty nation of the saved and redeemed.
Not only has Israel become one of the significant nations of the world,
but the Body of Christ has become a mighty world nation
of which He has invited us to become a part.
Here also is the promise that the Lord imparts His strength to each of us,
who, in ourselves, are small, weak, and insignificant,
but who, in Him, become strong and mighty to vanquish the enemy.
The Lord has promised us that one of us
will put a thousand to flight because He has made us strong in Him.)
I am the Lord; in its time I will do this swiftly."
(When the Lord chooses to establish His people as a nation,
He does it swiftly. In fact, in 1948, beyond all the predictions
of even the wisest politicians, He brought about overnight
the formation of the nation of Israel, a true, modern-day miracle.
For us today, we can rest assured that,
when He establishes us in any given situation in our lives,
He also makes us a "mighty nation" swiftly and without delay.
Just as His salvation was accomplished swiftly
from a three-day-and-night death, burial, and resurrection
and then ascension into the heavens,
so He gives us the victory of salvation
for all the situations that confront us today.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
