BLESSINGS TO ALL :)
I WANT TO SHARE THIS WONDERFUL PROMISE IN THE BIBLE FOR YOU. THE PASSAGE IS FOUND HERE THE WHOLE CHAPTER Isaiah Chapter 60
LET US REMEMBER TO KEEP OUR EYES ON THE LORD, FOR ONLY THE LORD CAN DELIVER US. THE WORLD SYSTEM AND CURRENCY IS JUST THAT, THE WORLD'S , MAN MADE. WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE SHAKING IN THE WORLD OF THE THINGS WE HAVE PUT OUR TRUST IN ARE FALLING AWAY..... FOR THE LORD SAYS EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SHAKEN WILL BE SHAKEN. IT IS LIKE HOLDING ONTO A WATER POT THAT IS CRACKED AND LEAKING WATER, AN EXPECTING IT TO HOLD WATER.
Isaiah Chapter 60
1ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you--rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!
2For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you.
3And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4Lift up your eyes round about you and see! They all gather themselves together, they come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried and nursed in the arms.
5Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and tremble with joy [at the glorious deliverance] and be enlarged; because the abundant wealth of the [Dead] [a]Sea shall be turned to you, unto you shall the nations come with their treasures.
6A multitude of camels [from the eastern trading tribes] shall cover you [Jerusalem], the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all the men from Sheba [who once came to trade] shall come, bringing gold and frankincense and proclaiming the praises of the Lord.
7All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you [as the eastern pastoral tribes join the trading tribes], the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on My altar, and My glorious house I will glorify.
8Who are these who fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows?
9Surely the isles and distant coastlands shall wait for and expect Me; and the ships of Tarshish [shall come] first, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of the Lord your God, for the Holy One of Israel, because He has beautified and glorified you.
10Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in My wrath I smote you, but in My favor, pleasure, and goodwill I have had mercy, love, and pity for you.
11And your gates shall be open continually, they shall not be shut day or night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations--and their kings led in procession [your voluntary captives].
12For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you in that day [Jerusalem] shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
13The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the pine [trees] together, to beautify the place of My sanctuary; and I will make the place of My feet glorious.
14The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending low to you, and all those who despised you shall bow down at your feet, and they shall call you the City of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through you, I will make you [Jerusalem] an eternal glory, a joy from age to age.
16You shall suck the milk of the [Gentile] nations and shall suck the breast of kings; and you shall recognize and know that I, the Lord, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver; and instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. [Instead of the tyranny of the present] I will appoint peace as your officers and righteousness as your taskmasters.
18Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor devastation or destruction within your borders, but you shall call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.
19The sun shall no more be your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you, but the Lord shall be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory and your beauty.
20Your sun shall no more go down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself, for the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
21Your people also shall all be [uncompromisingly and consistently] righteous; they shall possess the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified.
22The least one shall become a thousand [a clan], and the small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its [appointed] time.
Footnotes:
Isaiah 60:5 Prior to well into the twentieth century, scholars could only speculate as to what Isaiah might have meant here by "the abundant wealth of the [Dead] Sea" that would one day be turned over to Jerusalem. Of course, the Dead Sea, which for ages had been considered only a place of death and desolation, was ruled out as a possible meaning. Then suddenly it was discovered that the waters of the Dead Sea contain important chemicals. In A.D. 1935 G.T.B. Davis wrote, "One is almost staggered by the computed wealth of the chemical salts of the Dead Sea. It is estimated that the potential value of the potash, bromine, and other chemical salts of its waters is... four times the wealth of the United States!" (G.T.B. Davis, Rebuilding Palestine) Isaiah himself did not know this, but the God who caused the Dead Sea to play a part in His program in the last days knew all about it, and He led the prophet to so prophesy here in this verse.
WE MUST NOT FORGET WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD WE ARE JUST IN IT...THE WORLD IS OUR TRAIN STATION WAITING FOR THE GLORY RIDE TO COME. MAKE SURE WHEN THE CONDUCTOR ASKS FOR YOUR PASSAGE TICKET THAT JESUS PAID FOR, YOU HAVE IT.

Trust him. “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t
get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal
with whatever hard things come up when the time comes” (Matthew 6:33-34).

TIME TO FEED OUR SPIRIT TO STAY STRONG
Peace for Anxious Days
When
my daughters were single-digit ages—two, five, and seven—I wowed them with a
miracle. I told them the story of Moses and the manna and invited them to follow
me on a wilderness trek through the house.
“Who
knows,” I suggested, “manna may fall from the sky again.”
We
dressed in sheets and sandals and did our best Bedouin hike through the
bedrooms. The girls, on my instruction, complained to me, Moses, of hunger and
demanded I take them back to Egypt, or at least to the kitchen. When we entered
the den, I urged them to play up their parts: groan, moan, and beg for food.
“Look
up,” I urged. “Manna might fall any minute.”
Two-year-old
Sara obliged with no questions, but Jenna and Andrea had their doubts. How can
manna fall from a ceiling?
Just
like the Hebrews. “How can God feed us in the wilderness?”
Just
like you? You look at tomorrow’s demands, next week’s bills, next month’s silent
calendar. Your future looks as barren as the Sinai Desert. “How can I face my
future?” God tells you what I told my daughters: “Look up.”
When
my daughters did, manna fell! Well, not manna, but vanilla wafers dropped from
the ceiling and landed on the carpet. Sara squealed with delight and started
munching. Jenna and Andrea were old enough to request an explanation.
My
answer was simple. I knew the itinerary. I knew we would enter this room.
Vanilla wafers fit safely on the topside of the ceiling-fan blades. I had placed
them there in advance. When they groaned and moaned, I turned on the switch.
God’s
answer to the Hebrews was similar. Did he know their itinerary? Did he know they
would grow hungry? Yes and yes. And at the right time, he tilted the manna
basket toward earth.
And what about you? God know what you need and where
you’ll be. Any chance he has some vanilla wafers on tomorrow’s ceiling fans?
Trust him. “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t
get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal
with whatever hard things come up when the time comes” (Matthew 6:33-34).
PEACE AND PROSPERITY TO ALL >>)))>
