The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 65:8
This is what the Lord says:
"As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes
and people say, 'Don't destroy it, there is still a blessing in it,'
so will I do in behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all."
(Though God's people, though we, continue to walk in our own willful ways,
though we persist in unfaithfulness and disobedience,
though we fail Him time and again,
just as the Lord has promised the early fathers of our faith,
He remains faithful and true no matter how damaged we may be,
declaring His unfailing love and commitment to us
and that He will always save His people
so that His promises continue through the ages,
promises that still remain with us today.
Even when we have not produced the wine
of fellowship with and devotion to Him that we should,
He has planted within us the seeds of His purposes for us
and will not cast us aside because He sees the worth in us
and determines to give us time to produce
the cluster of works and faithfulness and wisdom and joy
He knows He can create in and through us.
As the vineyard that He tends, today we know that He as the Gardener
has a master design for His plantings and we are safe in His care.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
