The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 61:5Strangers will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
(The Lord declares to His people upon their release
from captivity and reentry into the Promised Land
that they will reenter not in defeated shame,
but in victory and joy. He will cause them to be prosperous
and declares people will be eager to serve them.
Today, the Lord says to us that,
as He ushers us out of the places of discipline and hardship,
He will cause us to be favored and honored,
that others will seek us out so they can contribute to our calling
and lend the work of their hands to contribute to our prosperity and well-being.
He reminds us that we will be the head and not the tail,
that we will be above and not below,
that we will be first and not last.
He reminds us that He does not withhold any good thing
from those who walk uprightly and have come through
the Lord's discipline with obedience and submissiveness.
He reminds us that He brings beauty and reward
out of the ashes of our former captivity and discipline )
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
