And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way.....But only the redeemed will walk there, and those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. v8-10 [excerpt]

Isaiah 35

And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way.....But only the redeemed will walk there, and those the Lord has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. v8-10 [excerpt]

As Isaiah continues with His vision for God's judgement on Israel, he once again talks about God's grace for those who believe - the redeemed.  We will have trouble - indeed - but God wants us to "take heart" (John 16:33) and take comfort in knowing the path we have chosen will bring us peace and comfort.  

Thank You Jesus!

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God because You provide Jesus - the way, the truth and the life!  Thank You for sending Your Son! I am not worthy of such love because I worry.  Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength.  Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo.  Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior.  Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
