Words in season

I continue to be thankful for the daily reading of the word of God which is so relevant to life today. I am in Isaiah and Galatians at the moment.

In the light of the uncertainties of ecomonic crisis around the world the word of God says

"He will be a sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge." (Isaiah 33:6)

To the people in our care who are going through difficult and hard times the word of God says,
"I have heard your prayer and seen your tears." (Isaiah 38:5)

When there are issues to be resolved that humanly speaking it is hard to find a solution to when we ask the Lord to help, he says,
"I have not said to Jacob's descendents "Seek me in vain."

In the midst of the busyness of Corps programme and Annual Appeal the word of God says,
"It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good."

But when we start congratulating ourselves for all our good works the word of God says,
"The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."

And finally from the Psalm 107 :43 "Whoever is wise let him heed these things and consider the great love of the Lord."

God bless
