A Word for You

Don't you love it when someone has a word for you? A word of hope or encouragement is always appreciated. A word of correction may be painful at first, but it can be very profitable in bringing about a needed change in your life. The right word at the right time can make a big difference in your life.

Isaiah was used of God to record words that still speak as clearly to us today as they did to those who first heard his words 2,700 years ago.

Warren Wiersbe, in the book "Be Comforted" wrote: "Isaiah had a word of promise to Judah that God would deliver Jerusalem from the enemy for the sake of David's throne. There was also a word of hope for the future Jewish exiles in Babylon, that God would rescue them and help them restore their nation and their temple. But Isaiah's greatest message is his word of salvation announcing the coming of the Messiah, the Servant of the Lord, who would die for sinners and one day return to earth to establish His glorious kingdom."

We all need words that give us Promise, Hope and Salvation. Tomorrow we will focus on the words of Isaiah 49. Words that will speak to your need and encourage your heart. I am praying for you to be at Church tomorrow. I am also praying that we will all hear the Words the Lord has for us.

Looking forward to sharing "A word for you" tomorrow,
Pastor Mike
