Isaiah 61:10

Getting all dressed up and having somewhere to go!

Isaiah 61:10
“I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.”

Clothed in the suit of salvation. Arrayed in a robe of righteousness. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone wore those? I think that’s what the world wants without the effort it takes to put them on. I think the world feels entitled to whatever good God has just because we are. I think a lot of folks (especially atheists ) are little brats crying about the lack of salvation, the lack of God’s gifts, that they feel entitled to without doing what is required to get them. A child’s “Gimme!” and “Mine” come to mind, and all of the theatrics associated with the tantrum.

Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone wore the cloak of salvation? Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone wrote the robe of righteousness – His righteousness, not ours?

Well, we know what to do. The bible tells us what to do, so just do it! And bring someone else along for the journey. Along the way, earnestly striving to live the life Christ calls us to live, we might just transform the world. One soul at a time.

In His Name,
Micah 6:8
Matthew 25:31-46

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
