The 'ber Months

"Sing, O childless woman,
You who have never given birth...
Fear not; you will no longer live in shame.
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced...
Your Creator will be like a husband to you -
The Lord Almighty is His name.
He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
The ruler of all the world.
For the Lord has called you back from your grief...
"For a brief moment I abandoned you,
But with great compassion, I will take you back...
The mountains and hills may crumble
But My love for you will never end;
I will keep forever My promise of peace."
So says the Lord who loves you.

Afflicted one, storm-tossed, unpitied:
I'm about to rebuild you...
All your children will be taught by the Lord,
And they will enjoy great peace.
You'll be built solid, grounded in righteousness.
You will be secure under a government that is just and fair.
Your enemies will stay far away.
You will live in peace, and terror will not come near.
Whoever attacks you does it without My consent;
Whoever fights against you will fall.
No weapon forged against you will prevail;
You will have an answer for all who accuse you.
These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord;
Their vindication will come from Me.
I, the Lord, have spoken."

~Isaiah 54

Happy Sunday, and happy September, family and friends.  My heart was encouraged through the verses above, so I thought I would share them here. ❤

We are in the final third of 2021, the beloved 'ber months, filled with fall fun and football and Thanksgiving gatherings and all the joys of Christmas.  Let's lean into God's goodness and finish this year strong!  That's all for today.
