Comfort My People

If you've never had an opportunity to read the 40th chapter of the Book of Isaiah let me encourage you to do so. If you are seeking to know the God of the universe - the only true and living God that you serve and worship - then read Isaiah 40.

As a teaser let me share with you the journey that this chapter took me on:
Theme
Comfort my people.
Comfort them
With hearts that burn for healing, reach out to those who are hurting and in pain.
Speak tenderly
Let them know that their service is not required.
Let them know that their sins have been forgiven.
Repent
Ready them for the coming Rapture.
The Promise
People will come and people will go but God's Word will stand forever.
Go Then
Desire a heart that will say 'Here am I. Send me'.

We are directed to lift up our voice with a shout
(be louder than 10 boys!)
We are instructed not to be afraid.
We are given treasure that is to be declared . . .
HERE IS YOUR GOD:
He is power.
He brings with Him a reward
He is here to carry you close to His heart
His deeds/His abilities are beyond measure
His total love/His perfect nature are without end

WOW!!!

I pray Lord Jesus that you will allow everyone who knows you to go on their own journey with you through this book/chapter of your Word. May each of them know the fullness of who You are.
For those who say to You, 'Lord, Lord' with their lips but not with their hearts, I pray that they will have a burning desire within themselves to seek You fully.
For those who don't yet know You Lord, I pray that their eyes would be opened to see the wonders of Your Glory and in that I pray that they will surrender themselves to you.

I pray all these things through the blessed and powerful name of the King of kings - Jesus the Christ.
Amen and Amen
