The Rock in a weary land

Isaiah 32:1-4 NKJV

Behold, a King will reign in righteousness, And princes will rule with justice. [2] A Man will be as a hiding place from the wind, And a cover from the tempest, As rivers of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. [3] The eyes of those who see will not be dim, And the ears of those who hear will listen. [4] Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge, And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.

Everywhere we look there is corruption in high places - in politics, in the courts, policing and local government - the frustration and disillusionment is palpable globally.

Then we look to the promise of a future coming Kingdom and breathe a huge spiritual sigh of relief.

"A King WILL reign in righteousness" - it won't always be a downward spiral of wickedness on Earth - the Millennium Kingdom of Christ the Redeemer has been irrevocably promised by the Eternal Living God who cannot lie.

Jesus is coming to rule and reign and His Kingdom will have no end (as Gabriel announced to Mary):

Luke 1:32-33 NKJV

He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. [33] And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end."

Here in the early morning, this makes me want to jump up and down and shout Hallelujah!

Imagine a world where injustice is a thing of the past and truth shines like the noonday sun. And, when that sun shines, we have Jesus, our Rock, to bring the refreshing shade of His covering Blood.

We'll see, hear, understand and speak clearly in His glorious Presence.

No more confusion and conflict in His coming Kingdom.

Doesn't your soul long for that blessed day?

It's the blessed Hope that keeps us going in this weary land.

Titus 2:11-14 NKJV

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, [12] teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, [13] looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, [14] who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
