The Daily Word of Righteousness
Isaiah, Chapter Fifty-four, #7
To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again. (Isaiah 54:9)
A faithful promise.
The Lord Jesus told us He rebukes and chastens those whom He loves. He said, "Be zealous, therefore, and repent."
As the Holy Spirit shows us the sin in our life we are to repent. It does not matter how long it takes, we are to keep on making the required changes in our personality. If we do not respond to the Holy Spirit, our resurrection from the dead will be a sorry affair.
But if we are willing and obedient, the day will arrive when God establishes, strengthens, and settles us. We have received double chastening for our sins. Our warfare has been accomplished. A crown of life has been prepared for us, and will be given to us when the Lord appears.
Furthermore, God has sworn that once our time of testing has been completed, God will never be angry with us or rebuke us again.
The Beginning and the End.
"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. (Isaiah 54:10)
The above verse may not mean too much to the Christian who has not as yet gone through his or her time of testing. But to the believer who has wondered year after year if his joy would ever return; if it ever would be like it had been at a previous time, the promise of the Lord that His love and peace would never be removed from us again is extremely important.
Here we sit in our dungeon, marking off the days, with no idea why we are here or how long we will be here It is then the Books of Job and Lamentations are bread and water for us. Why are we here? How long will we be here?
The Lord said He is the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and Omega. We know from this that after our travail of birth, so to speak, He will come forth in us. Then we shall see Him again and our joy shall be full. The pain no longer will be remembered.
To be continued.
