MEDITATIONS FROM ISAIAH

 

March 7, 2007

Reading: Isaiah 30:19-22

"This is the way, walk in it" Isaiah 30:21

“Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left” Isaiah 30:21.

 

My Father’s way may twist and turn,

My heart may throb and ache,

But in my soul I’m glad to know

He maketh no mistake.

 

My cherished plans may go astray,

My hopes may fade way;

But still I trust my Lord to lead,

My Father knows the way.

 

Though night be dark and it may seem

That day will never break;

I’ll pin my faith, my all, on Him,

Who maketh no mistake.

 

There’s so much now I cannot see,

My eye is still so dim;

But come what may I still can trust,

And leave it all to Him.

 

Eventually the mist will lift,

And darkness turn to day;

Then looking back I’ll praise His name,

Who led me all the way.

 

“And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people” Exodus 13:21-22.

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand” John 10:27-29.

"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing"
