EVERLASTING JOY*
*Isaiah 35:10 - And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.*
Isaiah seeks to assure Israel that God is present in their suffering; God has not deserted them. As believers in Christ, when our lives encounter a bump in the road, our world is crashing in around us, everything is out of control and we fear for our survival; at this point we tend to doubt God's presence in our lives. The real message is that God has not deserted us. God is present in the middle of our situations and suffering.
God is in control of history, He is in control of the future, and His plans will come to pass in our lives. Indeed, this world has gone through many trials and tribulations, but there will come a day when we shall experience everlasting joy.
The world lacks joy and can not give it. Jesus in us is the real source of joy. Being joyful in suffering here on earth is the trademark that Jesus is working in us. Everlasting joy is only found in Jesus. Get ready for our blessed home - where sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Beloved, everlasting joy and gladness shall be your portion as you pass through this earthly trials of life in Jesus matchless Name. Amen!
*Shalom!*
