“I shall make mention of the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, the praises of the Lord, According to all that the Lord has granted us, ... Which He has granted them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses. For He said, “Surely, they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely.” ... In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them, And He lifted them and carried them all the days of old.” Isaiah 63:7-9 (NASB)
The prophet Isaiah often reminded the people of God's goodness. These three verses display His lovingkindness – also called mercy and steadfast love. In verse 8 he recounts what God says about His people and the last words in verse 9 give us the picture of what the Lord did for His people long ago. We've shared this verse today because they remind us of how He is taking care of us these day. If you are a follower of Christ and call yourself a Christian, you are likely noticing a growing hostility in society toward all who also call themselves Christian. But in this time, we still trust his promise that He is lifting us up and carrying us. We are living the Christian life, not in our own strength, but in the strength that God provides to us each day. On our own we would know how to walk by faith. So we are thankful to God today that He has promised to to carry us.
