ABIDE - DAY 12

Our Hope is in Him alone

Let’s read:

The Prophet Isaiah said:

Isaiah 8
16 Bind up the testimony,
Seal the law among my disciples.

17  And I will wait on the Lord,
Who hides His face from the house of Jacob;
And I will hope in Him.

18  Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me!
We are for signs and wonders in Israel
From the Lord of hosts,
Who dwells in Mount Zion.


Isaiah would not be moved! He understood that in a day and age where everything around him was chaos his hope was in God and God alone!  

Just like Isaiah and God’s people, we are on Earth as representatives of God! Isaiah said “we are signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord”. You and I are to be walking signs and wonders for the King of glory!

The world we are living in is just like the days of Isaiah…. Chaos! Many people are looking to all different types of avenues to get them to a “deeper place” a “higher power”. They will look to all types of New Age stuff, tarot cards, paranormal witch craft, psychic readers all to have an experience with the supernatural. The only reason this is happening is because the church hasn’t fully realized who she is and what she carries!  

We have to begin stepping in these arenas to bring the truth of the Gospel!

What if someone was able to stay away from Reiki because they could come to the church to get healed?

What if someone could skip the tarot card reader because they could come to the church to hear from a prophetic voice?

What if someone could stop ghost hunting and come to the church to encounter Jesus in a real tangible way?

Understand… the church is not the building! It’s you and I, we are the church!

Like Isaiah our only hope is in God and His love for His people, it is an ABIDING place!
