Throughout the past year, I have faced immense challenges. To be honest, it's not just been a year but multiple years of hardships. I have felt my faith and hope slipping away in the face of betrayal, pain, heartache, and illness. It's easy to lose sight of who you are or the beliefs you once held dear in such trying times. Unlike anything in my life before, I have struggled with maintaining my faith and spiritual connection in this past year.
At 3 am, while reading this chapter, I realized that this verse gains its true meaning when viewed in the context of the preceding 21 verses. Essentially, what God, through Isaiah, offers his people is a vision of their restoration. Despite exile and the repercussions of sin, the message is one of hope – a promise of returning to their homeland and living in peace.
Many of us are grappling with pain and feeling the impact of "Sin," whether it's our own or that of those around us.
Sin in our marriages, in our homes, in our kids. We see this in church, and in so many different ways we see this in physical struggles with cancer and disease. We see this with death. We see this with horrible things that happen to people. We see these stories in our lives around us and then all around the world, as we see massive suffering.
This verse says to me "Trust in me. I’m going to bring about an end to all this. I’m going to restore you to myself. There’s going to be a day when sin and all of its effects will be no more. So trust in me. I am the Lord. In its time, when it is time, I will hasten it.”
Holding on is hard, I know I have found myself slipping,falling but I always rise and I won't stop rising.
Don't stop Rising nomatter how much you have fallen, continue putting one foot in front of the other, it is well. It shall be well
Isaiah 60vs22 When the time is right i the Lord will make it happen.A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation.I the Lord will hasten it in his time.
