Sa, 02/15/14, "Day of Praise"
Isaiah 51:3 - "For the Lord comforts Zion; he comforts all her waste places and makes her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song."
The work week can feel like a wilderness, leaving your soul in waste.
But in today's verse, God tells us of the renewal he will bring to Zion, that is to all people who would place their faith in Him.
Then after resting up, after finding comfort and finding Eden Paradise where you were feeling drained, we are plainly commanded by God to go find some joy and gladness by going to give thanks and sing.
It's a rhythm, Friends. It's a rhythm. Work, rest, worship, renewal. Work, rest, worship, renewal. Work, rest, worship, renewal.
So you've worked this past week. Today you're resting up. So, tomorrow? Well, I'll see ya in worship. Ya know, for some renewal, joy, and gladness!
Love, y'all! Have a great day!
Praise God!
Pastor Chris
