Our Hope, Our Strong Deliverer

In preparation for Sunday morning worship, please read these verses slowly and let them sink into the depths of your heart and soul.

These verses have been a wonderful encouragement to me:

I Peter 2:24: He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

Can you imagine, bearing the sins of the whole world, in your body? He who was not sin, became sin for us (2 Cor. 5:22).

And for those who are tired and weary...

Isaiah 40:31: But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

One of my favorite contemporary praise songs is "Everlasting God" which is taken from the Isaiah passage. Here is a video of the song with Dan leading us several months ago...this was one of those Glasgow services where the Holy Spirit drew especially near...we will be singing this on Sunday...

Our God does not faint, does not grow tired, and is not surprised. Our God is a gracious God, who is slow to anger, patient, kind, and good.
