7-Aug-22

The Bible Says:

  “The sound of an uproar from the city!
    A sound from the temple!
  The sound of the LORD,
    rendering recompense to his enemies!

Rejoice with Jerusalem (Listen)

  “Before she was in labor
    she gave birth;
  before her pain came upon her
    she delivered a son.
  Who has heard such a thing?
    Who has seen such things?
  Shall a land be born in one day?
    Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?
  For as soon as Zion was in labor
    she brought forth her children.
  Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?”
    says the LORD;
  “shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?”
    says your God.
  “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her,
    all you who love her;
  rejoice with her in joy,
    all you who mourn over her;
  that you may nurse and be satisfied
    from her consoling breast;
  that you may drink deeply with delight
    from her glorious abundance.”
  For thus says the LORD:
  “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,
    and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream;
  and you shall nurse, you shall be carried upon her hip,
    and bounced upon her knees.
  As one whom his mother comforts,
    so I will comfort you;
    you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
  You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;
    your bones shall flourish like the grass;
  and the hand of the LORD shall be known to his servants,
    and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.

(ESV)

—Isaiah 66:6-14

And here is a thought:

by: Katie Brown.

b'

This passage promises that God comforts His people in times of sorrow or confusion. Do we feel the promise of “peace like a river” in our daily lives? When we search around among worldly things to bring us comfort, we are turning away from the source of peace and joy we can only find in God’s presence and love for us. The life we have in Christ should cause our hearts to rejoice and we must remember to turn back to our God, the Great Comforter, during our hard times obviously, but even more so during our times of plenty.
