Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Monday, October 18, 2021
Today's Passage : Today's Passage :The Whole World Will Be Filled with Fruit Bible Verse:Isaiah 27:1-6 (ESV) "In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea. In that day, “A pleasant vineyard, sing of it! I, the Lord, am its keeper; every moment I water it. Lest anyone punish it, I keep it night and day; I have no wrath. Would that I had thorns and briers to battle! I would march against them, I would burn them up together. Or let them lay hold of my protection, let them make peace with me, let them make peace with me.” In days to come Jacob shall take root, Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots and fill the whole world with fruit. " Message:
Isaiah is so poetic in his prophecies that he is often hard to follow. Here he foretells the day when God will destroy the evils of earth, with the metaphor of God slaying Leviathan, a mythical sea monster. But in that same day — and like much of the Old Testament, "day" is used to mean a period of time, not necessarily 24 hours — God's wrath will end.
Isaiah writes a passage, “would that I had thorns and briers to battle”, remembering the time before the day of judgment, when God would give a choice to the enemies of truth: to be destroyed by Him or to make peace with Him. But his wrath is gone, and all that remains is a garden (perhaps a reference to the Garden of Eden) that God keeps.
Finally, Isaiah once again tells us that the root of Jacob will put forth shoots and fill the world with fruit. Jacob, also called “Israel”, was Christ's ancestor. He was Christ's physical ancestor, a line traced over thousands of years through Jesse and David. But more importantly, he was Christ's spiritual ancestor, as his offspring were the keepers of the covenant with God described in the Old Testament, until Christ — a shoot from the tree of Jesse — would come to fulfill God's plan.
Meditation : Prayer : Oh Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you”; I pray that I and your whole church, the body of all faithful people, will know your peace, and live in harmony and unity, one with another, in accordance with your wishes. This I pray to you, who lives and reigns forever.....Amen |
