The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 66:12a
For this is what the Lord says:
"I will extend peace to her like a river,
(After making the promise that Jerusalem,
after being overrun and destroyed,
would again be a source of refuge and comfort for His people,
the Lord says that He will make His beloved city a place of peace,
a place of encompassing well-being and prosperity.)
and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream;"
(Moreover, the Lord will cause the Gentile nations
to bring to His city and His people, not just a trickling stream,
but a gushing torrent of wealth and blessing and prosperity.
Today, we, too, have His promise that,
as His special "city," His special people,
He will give us His shalom peace,
a peace that passes all human understanding, a peace founded in Him.
He will cause those around us, those not even in close relationship to us,
those not even necessarily previously on our side,
to bless us with floodwaters of blessing,
blessings that flow directly from His Hand.
He tells here that He will stop at nothing
to find ways to bless us His people today.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
