He Will Come and Save You

Scripture:

Isaiah 35:4-5 "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; he will come and save you.  Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped".

Observation:

Isaiah gives a word to God's people and tells them to be strong and not to fear because, one day God will come with vengeance on their enemies and he will save them.  They may be under His discipline right then, but that He would come to rescue them and at that time blind eyes will open and deaf ears will hear.  It was a promise of ultimate salvation that will happen.  One day, every negative and wrong doing will be overturned.

Application:

As servant of the Lord, we can stand assured that one day every wrong will be made right and judgment will come for every evil deed.  One day the Lord will come in power and every knee will bow before Him.  When we feel like we have been wronged, we can have hope and be confident that the Lord will take care of our enemies and those who have wronged us.  Nothing escapes His sight and He records every deed.  One day our oppressors will stand before a righteous and holy God and give account.

Prayer:

Lord, help me not to take vengeance, but to let your day of vengeance come.  Help me to trust You knowing that every wrong will be made right in the future.  Help me to live in the now in forgiveness and kindness while knowing and being confident that there is a future day when every wrong will be made right.  Let peace invade my life.

Your Son,
Jeff
