After the Storm

Isaiah 40 

5And the glory of the LORD will be revealed,

   and all people will see it together.

            For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."  

6 "All people are like grass,

   and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.

⁷The grass withers and the flowers fall,

   because the breath of the LORD blows on them.   

9lift up your voice with a shout,

lift it up, do not be afraid;

   say to the towns of Judah,

   "Here is your God!"

¹⁰See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power,

   and he rules with a mighty arm.

See, his reward is with him,

   and his recompense accompanies him.

¹¹He tends his flock like a shepherd:

   He gathers the lambs in his arms

and carries them close to his heart;

   he gently leads those that have young.

²⁶Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:

   Who created all these?

He who brings out the starry host one by one

   and calls forth each of them by name.

Because of his great power and mighty strength,

   not one of them is missing.  

²⁸ Do you not know?
   Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
   the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
   and his understanding no one can fathom.
²⁹ He gives strength to the weary
   and increases the power of the weak.
³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,
   and young men stumble and fall; 

Every day the sun comes up, whether we are ready or not. In a day we take many decisions and the time frame to evaluate each one is very short. It is my conviction that we always have enough choices but that it is more important to know what the consequences are of each action and decisions we make. Always questioning if I am putting God first when I make choices. Every day I write a journal entry on the topics that I personally struggle with. I share my challenges, trials, joy, sorrow, faith and the lessons learned with my friends. Not one day goes by without praising my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for his wisdom and grace. My messages are to honor my Lord and be a witness of his endless love. This love is available for all of us.

Today I celebrate God's grace.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.
