“Return to Him from whom you have
deeply defected, O sons of Israel. For
in that day every man will cast away his silver idols and his gold idols, which
your sinful hands have made for you as a sin.
“And the Assyrian will fall by the
sword not of man, and a sword not of man will devour [consume] him. So
he will not escape the sword, and his young men will become forced labourers.
“’His rock will pass away because
of panic, and his princes will be terrified at the standard,’ declares the
Lord, whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 31:6-9
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way,
and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.’” John
14:6
There is so much going on in our
lives. So many things to do. So many decisions. So many directions to go, choices to make. So little time and too many
distractions.
No wonder you may feel exhausted. Perhaps it is a perfect time to stop and
consider the direction you are going, what you are pursuing and most of all, who
you are following.
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.
