66:02 Isaiah “Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" declares the LORD. "These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.” (NIV)

65:24 Isaiah “Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.” (NIV)

God is there for us… always… even before we know that we need to reach out to Him. That is just how much He loves us. We would be shocked at all of the blessings that He has prepared for us yet we just never get around to asking Him for them. Even in our darkest moment, He is there to give comfort and support to all of our needs. What are you waiting for… reach out to Him in prayer right now. Now is the best time… always!

We are blessed beyond measure!

60:01 Isaiah “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.” (NIV)

So much of the book of Isaiah is a lament about the people of Israel and their rebellion against God. Then, at times, Isaiah shares bright words of hope and encouragement. That is what we ALL need. We need to feel the love of God filling us. We need to see His presence in our lives. We need to know that He is with us ALWAYS! AND, He is!! So now we can shine that light into our darkened world. Be a beacon of light and a bright voice of encouragement to others!
