It's a cold, bleak, wintry day here in Duluth, Georgia. I thank the Lord for a warm house, good food, an awesome husband, a great job, every breath that He gives me, and for the moments in life that really suck - The Lord is good - the world is not. Thank you God, for the blessings that you do give, thank you most of all for the hope that you give in Jesus Christ because He has overcome the world and offers everyone a chance to be clean before You so that we can have abundant life eternally, so that we can talk to You, God Almighty, the Everlasting God - and You hear us and answer according to your perfect will. I praise you because you are a big God - loving, patient, and just at the same time. Your ways are higher than our ways - your thoughts higher than our thoughts. Thank you for the peace that you give, that transcends all understanding, when I allow your Spirit to be in control and I seek you and trust you. Praise the Lord - the King who is coming again!
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder. For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. isaiah 9:2-7
"In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." isaiah 40:3-5
For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Matthew 24:27
