"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 19 March 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "Praise to God"
Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 25:1-12
Today's Main Verse: Isaiah 25:1 "O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt you, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth."
Chapter 25 begins with a song of exaltation and praise to God for the triumphs of His judgment of the world. The survivors of the Great Tribulation life their voices in praise to God for His protection. The Cities of mankind have fallen into "ruin" and the nations of the world have been "brought low" and "humbled before the Almighty God," who alone has been a "refuge from the storm." The "veil" does not refer to the veil of the temple but to the "coverings" of death that hangs over "all nations." Yet God "will swallow up death in victory" (1 Corinthians 15:54) and the "Lord GOD will wipe away all tears" (Revelation 7:17). This act of His grace will bring in the millennial kingdom.
This poem from Isaiah celebrates God's destruction of the sinful earth. It is a hymn of praise (verses 1-5), the Lord's feast on Mount Zion celebrating of death (verses 6-8), and a hymn of praise by the congregation (verses 9-12).
"Wonderful things" in verse 1 refers to the wonders only God can do. "Faithfulness and truth" may be rephrased as "absolute truth." The "strong" and "ruthless" in verse 3 will honor the "poor" and "needy" verse 4. Why will this be? Because the poor, who took refuge in God, will prove to be wiser as well as more righteous than the strong, who rely on their own strength.
What will God's final triumph mean for us? The shroud, death, will be destroyed (verse 7). Those who trust in God will praise Him and be glad in His salvation (verse 9). God's judgments are terrible. But the result of judgment is cleansing, release, and joy.
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord 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 Youcel Nasdarkhani the Iranian pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to denounce his Faith and Trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Pray for God's Peace on the Nation of Israel and His 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."
Jesus Reigns, and HE IS and ALWAYS WILL BE IN COMPLETE and TOTAL CONTROL.
