As I was reading in Isaiah this morning the small little verse jumped out and just screamed to be noticed! So, notice we will! I have given four translations of the same verse.
Isaiah 35:4a NIV “Say to those with fearful hearts, ‘Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with a vengeance.”
Isaiah 35:4a NKJV “Say to those who are fearful hearted, ‘Be strong, do not fear! Behold you God will come with vengeance.”
Isaiah 35:4a NCV “Say to people who are frightened, ‘Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look, your God will come, and he will punish your enemies.”
Isaiah 35:4a NLT “Say to those with fearful hearts, ‘Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you.”
Fearful, Frightened, or Afraid! What are you afraid of today? What monster is hiding under your bed? What fear lurks in your heart, robbing you of peace? Take those fears and worries to the throne room of God and lay them at his feet. Turn them over to him! Let Go and Let God!!!
We are instructed by the Lord to; Be strong and do not fear! Why is that?
Because He is coming to save you!!! It’s scripture, on this you can count on, bank on, sleep on and rely on! The Lord’s word never returns void!!!
He is coming to destroy your enemies! What is your enemy? Are you fighting your health? Are you battling a season of wait? Is a deadline quickly approaching and you’re not ready? Are you facing a financial mountain? Family issues? Relationship woes? Decisions needing to be made? Let Jehovah Nissi (The Lord our Banner) go to battle for you!
Dear Lord, thank you for your words that speak strength, comfort, and protection. I humbly ask Lord for your peace within the storm, for your comfort within the wait, your signs within the decisions and your presence within our hearts. We thank you, Lord, that whatever battle is being faced today that we know we aren’t facing it alone, as your word tells us you are coming and coming with a vengeance, for this and all you are I give humble thanksgiving and praise your Holy name. In that name Lord Jesus I pray. Amen 🙏
I’ve said it before and I will keep saying it…take those cares and worries and frustrations to the cross and leave them there. Gods got this and he’s got you too!
Be blessed today and be a blessing. Thank you for joining me! 🥰
