Bible Scripture Reading

'Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for for 4 July 2012"

Today's Blog Title: "The Gentiles Bless Zion"
Today's Blog Scripture Reading: "Isaiah 60:1-22
Today's Blog Key Verse: Isaiah 61:1 "Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you."

In today's chapter reading, Isaiah foresees a time when Israel will "arise" out of her "darkness" and "shine" with God's glory.  Then the "Gentiles shall come" to her light.  Thus the "sons of strangers" described in this chapter will come to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

The verses in this chapter, describe in detail the worship of the nations at Jerusalem where they will "bow themselves down" at the "city of the LORD."  In that day her "officers" (governors) will be "peace" and her "extractors" (magistrates or overseers) will be "righteousness."  Her walls will be "Salvation," her gates will be "Praise," and the whole city will be filled with the "brightness" of the the glory of the Lord.  In Revelation 21:23 and 22:5 we will read a similar description.

Today's Biblical Truth: the return of Christ will not be confined to a desert or some inner rooms.  When Christ returns, His coming will be so spectacular that everyone will know that He has arrived."

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 Sister in Christ who are being persecuted for Their Faith and Trust in Jesus. Pray for Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian Pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to denounce Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and also for his lawyer who has been sentenced to 9 tears in prison for defending him in the Iranian Court.  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."

"Cone to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:8

Jesus Reigns!!!  May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.

Your Sister in Christ,
Cindi
