Isaiah 60:4-5
Lift up your eyes and look
about you; All assemble and come
to you; your sons come from
afar, and your daughters are
carried on the arm. Then you
will look and be radiant, your
heart will throb and swell with
joy; the wealth on the seas will
be brought to you, to you the
riches of the nations will come.
NIV
Can It Get
Any Worse?
Are there moments in your life
when you feel the depths of
sorrow, experience the feelings
of helplessness, and life seems
anything but joyous. You walked
the walk of faith, served your
fellowman, and still, it seems
all your efforts for God have
been forgotten? You find
yourself asking, “Can it
possibly get any worse?”
In the stillness of the night,
God comes to you with his
answer. His promises are true,
and yes, he is faithful. There
will be fruit from the seed
sown. There will be ‘much
fruit’. Lift up the head that
hangs down; see the children,
friends, and neighbors you have
poured out your life in. These
are the ones you’ve influenced
by the life you’ve lived before
them; and the love you have
given. No, it won’t get worse,
it will only get better!
Your investment was not wasted.
They’re coming back to share in
their wealth of joy and
blessings multiplied by the
seeds you’ve sown. They want to
share the good fruit. No matter
how small your seed, or how
insignificant it seems to you,
remember, God multiplies.
Rejoice in the Lord, and thank
him for the things he is doing
in your life. You are a chosen
vessel created by God to do his
great and mighty works. Rejoice
and praise his name.
Father, we thank you for your
faithfulness to us. Thank you
for revealing truth when Satan
tries to weaken our faith with
his lies. Thank you for
reminding us as we plant the
seeds, they will be watered, and
multiplied. We will see fruit
from our labors. Amen
