God Instructs the People of God
God's People Learn from Prosperity:
Isaiah 25:6-10
The Message
will throw a feast for all the people of the world,
A feast of the finest foods, a feast with vintage wines,
a feast of seven courses, a feast lavish with gourmet desserts.
And here on this mountain, God will banish
the pall of doom hanging over all peoples,
The shadow of doom darkening all nations.
Yes, he'll banish death forever.
And God will wipe the tears from every face.
He'll remove every sign of disgrace
From his people, wherever they are.
Yes! God says so!
9-10Also at that time, people will say,
"Look at what's happened! This is our God!
We waited for him and he showed up and saved us!
This God, the one we waited for!
Let's celebrate, sing the joys of his salvation.
God's hand rests on this mountain!"
10-12As for the Moabites, they'll be treated like refuse,
waste shoveled into a cesspool.
Thrash away as they will,
like swimmers trying to stay afloat,
They'll sink in the sewage.
Their pride will pull them under.
Their famous fortifications will crumble to nothing,
those mighty walls reduced to dust
For Reflection
Witness the Living God. Feast on His promise of salvation. Celebrate his victory in you. Let others see your transformed self. Be a living counterpart to the Godless.
Pray
to the God-of-the-Angle-Armies for his protection, encouragement and vision to face this world. Pray that you keep celebrating is goodness and mercy. Pray long and hard for those who have not felt the warmth and satisfaction of God in their lives. Pray that they will find peace, living in the hollow of God
