—Isaiah 42:1-9
by: Victoria Shephard.
Jesus is the healer of the weak and of those whose lives are such a mess that they see no hope. He can forgive the sins of anyone and make something beautiful out of that mess. God promised Israel, “Then I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust” (Joel 2:25). I believe this is a promise for today to all his children to make our lives useful to him.
