It Is Inevitable!

Reading:  Isaiah 59, 60, 61
My Verse:  61:11  "For as [surely as] the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring forth, so [surely] the Lord God will cause rightness and justice and praise to spring forth before all the nations [through the self-fulfilling powers of His word.]

This is Truth!  This will happen - "the self-fulfilling power of His word". 

I keep coming back to this - Isaiah brings this fact back up again and again.  The earth we live on, the lives we live are temporary - transitory.  While I am expected to live an excellent life before my Lord and the world I must ever keep in mind that "as surely as the earth brings forth its shoots . . . so surely the Lord" will return.  And when He does return He "will cause rightness and justice and praise to spring forth before all the nations."

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the former sky and earth had passed away."  (Rev. 21:1)

This is so assuring when I see the pain and devastation around me.  Rather than despair I can look up and forward to my Lord's return.  "Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, ..." (Rev. 1:7) Thank you for this, Lord.
