We Are No Longer Orphans
Isaiah 35:4-7
Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; 4 say to
those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will
come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.” 5 Then
will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. 6 Then
will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will
gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. 7 The burning sand will
become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals
once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.
Summary:
God will come to save you from whatever ails you: arthritic hands,
bad knees, anxiety, worry, blindness, deafness, the lame will walk, the mute will
shout for joy. He will convert your life from a dessert full of danger and
hardships to a life in an oasis full of peace and joy.
What about Today?
God has arrived to save us! Through Christ we have been
blessed with forgiveness, salvation and the healing of our body and soul. We are
not only citizens of the Kingdom of God, we are also heirs to His Kingdom. We
are righteous in God's eyes. We can manifest God's infinite love which
brings forgiveness and healing to ourselves and to others in the Name of Jesus.
Christ is now living within us. The 'old' person is dead. We
are a new creation and we are filled with the Fruit and the Gifts of the Holy
Spirit. We are filled with the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.
Through Christ, we are the sons and daughters of Abba, Our Father.
We replace slavery to sin with God's Will in our lives and we receive the Spirit
of Adoption which allows us to truly cry out to Him "Abba, Father".
What a privilege and honor it is for undeserving sinners like us to call the Almighty
Creator of all things, “Daddy”.
