Isaiah 54
Dear RTB’ers,
We have an emotional God: For a brief moment I deserted you, but with great compassion I gather you. In overflowing anger for a moment I hid My face from you, but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD, your Redeemer. (vv.7-8) Desertion, compassion, anger – but ultimately, everlasting love. Not unlike we as parents disciplining a disobedient child – we do it out of love. But the love that we have for our children is infinitely less than the love that God has for us. In the end, with all that we might have gone through, God speaks to us, …My steadfast love shall not depart from you… (v. 10b) The Gospel in just a few words…!
Blessings!
