Good Morning Friends,
“The oppressor will come to an end, and
destruction will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the land. In love a
throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it -- one from
the house of David – one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of
righteousness.” (Isaiah 16:4-5)
Isaiah prophesied about the coming Messiah. He
will bring the oppressor to an end and cause destruction to cease. No longer will
Satan have his way with us. No longer will Satan’s schemes dominate our lives
and bring its appointed end. God will deal with Satan once and for all.
A new kingdom will be established and its
King will reign in love. Satan’s kingdom is a kingdom of fear and distress, a
kingdom of oppression and destruction. The kingdom of the Messiah will have
love as its very foundation.
The new King will reign in faithfulness. He
can be counted on. He will never let us down. He will always be there when we
turn to Him. His presence will never be taken away. No power will ever be able
to wrest Him from the throne.
Justice and righteousness will be the hallmarks
of His work.
Sounds like a great kingdom of which to be a
part doesn’t it. A kingdom of love, a faithful king, a kingdom of justice and
righteousness. Isaiah predicted it and Jesus is fulfilling it!
Thank God for your King. Remember how much better
He is than your old one! “For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.” (Colossians 1:13)
His, by Grace,
Steve
