The Road to the 100-Fold Harvest

Psalm 126

A song of ascents!



When the Lord brought back His exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!

We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy.

And the other nations said, "What amazing things the Lord has done for them."

Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy!

Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert.

Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.

They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.

Deliverance Is On Its Way

Isaiah 30

Can't seem to leave this. Such a picture of the last 10 years of my life. I can honestly say I wanted to do the right thing. I just too often looked to and leaned on the wrong thing (people). I re-acted to and through my circumstances and people in my life rather than pro-acting based on the advice from My Heavenly Father (Is. 30:2). And OH the consequences that have come from that. Yet He has continually shown me in His Word that my deliverance will come from Him and Him alone! I will not be allowed to trust in "horses". He will NOT share His glory with ANY!!! My strength will lie in quiet confidence." (Is. 30:15b) He "waits to show me mercy" at just the right time and I can be "happy as I wait patiently for Him." (Is. 30:18) I am receiving "meager bread and water during this oppression, but my Teacher will not hide Himself any longer. My eyes will see my Teacher, and whenever I turn to the right or to the left, my ears will hear this command behind me: 'This is the way. Walk in it'.... Then He will send rain for my seed that I have sown in the ground, and the food, the produce of the ground, will be rich and plentiful." (Is. 30:20,21,23) And to those who desire to annihilate me "the Lord will make the splendor of His voice heard and reveal His arm striking in angry wrath and a flame of consung fire, in driving rain, a torrent, and hailstones. Assyria will be shattered by the voice of the Lord." (Is. 30:30,31)

Oh, Sweet Rescue!
I trust! And...
I love you too!
