Isaiah 26:1-21
Faith
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, is the Rock eternal.
Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness, even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil.
O Lord, our god, your establish peace for us, for that we have accomplished you have done for us. Other gods besides you have ruled over us, but your name alone do we honor.
They came to you in their distress, when you disciplined them, they could barely whisper a prayer.
Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. --The righteousness will reveal over the world.
Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passe by.
See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
Why?
In life there is waiting, suffering and failure. But God holds fast his own, even through dead.
The Dew: expresses God's power to receive the dead, who lie in the earth.
How?
This is our life with waiting, stress and failure. But trust in the Lord, under God's discipline, we turn to the Lord, I can barely whisper a prayer.
