214 - “Sweep Your Hand Over My Raging Waters” Isaiah 5-9

  

God will honor the nations. 

For a child is born. 

The people walking in darkness have seen a Great Light.

 On those living in the land of deep darkness, a Light has dawned. 

And That Love is the wonder of us all.

He is a Wonderful Counselor. 

He knew God's counsel from the Beginning. 

And He consults on our behalf the Wisdom of God. 

Nothing like this on earth. 

We live between the Already and the Not

All of us have walked in darkness.
Sometime.
The people walked in deep darkness
They have seen a great light;

Those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, 
on them has light shone.
Isaiah 9:2

This word is truly amazing.

They knew about Abraham, Moses, Jacob, David.

They knew not Jesus.

PHOTO:  A very dark day on Santa Rosa Island.  Thinking about how we are not evil yet do evil things.  We are righteous.  Called to peace and quietness in the midst of our deep darkness.  Big difference between evil people and those pursuing peace.

It's the Not Yet that keeps me trusting cause I'm not There yet. 

And he will be called
    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the greatness of his government and peace
    there will be no end."
