Greetings sisters!
I hope this finds you pressing on for the kingdom of God! Faith is such a big concept to ponder and what it looks like, is, and what a lack of it would also look like. We know it is being truly persuaded of that which is not seen. We walk by faith not by sight and we know we are absent from the Lord for now. Jesus gave us parables about a man leaving his servants and going into a far country. He gave his servants tasks to do and good rewards and praises were given to those who did well while he was away. That helps us also get the picture of what we are and should be doing faithfully. God is good to have given us all these concepts of spiritual truths in things people would understand!
I share this precious scripture about our Saviour today. May it keep us in our place before Him. How thankful we ought to be for all He did and went through. May complaining and ungratefulness be not once named among us.
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:1-12
He is our only hope. May we press on with thankful hearts for all He has done for us in His love, mercy, and grace. The glory be unto His name! He has been and still is so long suffering with mankind. But let us who know the truth live pleasing to Him by walking in His good ways! How glad we are that He gave us His Word also! It is a lamp unto our feet and light to our path! Let us live by it and endure unto eternal life!
Love, mercy, and peace unto you in Christ our Lord.
