"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 6 January 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "The Day of the Lord"
Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 2:1-22
Today's Key Verse: Isaiah 2:4 "He shall judge between the Nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore."
Wow!!! What a day that is going to be when Jesus Christ Himself will direct the affairs of nations during His millennial kingdom. On that glorious day there will be an end to all weapons, an end to all warfare because of the reign of the Prince of Peace, the Savior King whose name is Jesus.
Although Israel was God's chosen people, salvation's blessings are intended for all. This great truth is powerfully affirmed by Isaiah. In verses 2-5 he envisions Jerusalem as the capital of the whole Earth, with the nations eager to learn and walk in God's ways. When God reigns from Jerusalem the world will be at peace, and the Lord Himself will settle international disputes.
In verses 1-5 shows that God had intended the knowledge of the Lord to flow out from Judah. Instead paganism, with its corrupt values and its idolatry, has flowed into Judah from foreign nations! What a danger this is for us today. We as Christians are to shed light on a dark world, not adopt the world's values and its ways.
Isaiah predicted that in the day of the Lord, the Lord alone would be exalted. Isaiah warns his listeners to "run for cover" because of the coming judgment of the Day of the LORD. This will be the time of universal judgment that will result in the overthrow of all human government. Since this day of judgment is coming, when all human governments shall collapse into the dust, Isaiah stresses and urges his readers to trust in God.
Isaiah predicted that in the Day of the Lord, the Lord alone would be exalted. The oracle is in three parts: (1) an introduction command to the proud to hide themselves from the terror of the Lord (verses 10, 11); (2) a prediction that in the Day of the Lord every pretension would be humbled (verses 12-18); (3) a concluding command to the righteous to separate themselves from the proud (verse 22).
In closing we need to remember that since God will reject proud idolaters, we as believers should also reject them. How absolutely ridiculous to trust in something that will not last, is made by mans hands, whose breath is in his nostrils, instead of trusting in the One who gives everyone breath.
Today's Hymn: "It Is No Secret What God Can Do"
The chimes of time ring out the news, another day is through, Some one slipped and fell. Was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength, your courage to renew. Don't be discouraged, I have news for you
It's no secret what God can do, what he's done for others He'll do for you,
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you, it is no secret what God can do.
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how we are Your children look froward to when You will bring your kingdom and You will rule. Where there will be no more war, no more suffering, no more tears. Help us our endeavor to win others to You and to keep our eyes, hearts and minds focused on you and may we like the John in Revelation say, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Prayer is the weapons that Satan fears the most."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.
Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ. Pray for God's Blessings on the Nation of Israel. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
