Cause for Rejoicing!
“I will greatly rejoice in the
Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with
the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of
righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as
a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth
forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in
it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and
praise to spring forth before all nations. “Isaiah 61: 10-11.
We have good reason to rejoice and
to be glad in the Lord,. Even though we live in an environment that
is evil and corrupted by sin and disobedience to God. God has
provided for his redeemed, born again children a robe of
righteousness, and crowned them with precious jewels while we wait
for the long dark winter of sin to be over, and for God's springtime
to come. We are reminded, when we see the signs of spring on earth;
when we see the buds began to appear on the trees; when we see the
lilies and flowers popping their heads through the soil, that God's
righteousness and praise will spring forth in the earth when our Lord
and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ returns, and God's righteousness
shall prevail.
