Double For Our Trouble

Isaiah 40:1-2

COMFORT Ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.

*** Because we were born in sin and shaped in iniquity - this lets us know that we are going to sin. Some sins can not be erased but they can be forgiven by our heavenly father, who knows all things.

*** The bible tells us, "All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." This is also true - but once we have been saved and the Holy Ghost - comforter - lives in us the sins we us to do we don't do them any more. God knows that in times as these we are doing our best to live right - according to his will.  Many of us are doing our best to survive in this perverse -evil - generation.
***This is when the Holy Spirit come in and help us - by leading and guiding us to all truth and righteousness.

*** When we let the Holy Spirit perform his perfect work in our life God can and will use us for his glory.
At this time he will restore us and give us double for all the trouble we have had in life; not only financially, physically, socially and mentally -  but we will also have a peace of mind.


Isaiah 40:29 - 31

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

*** Wait, I say wait upon the Lord.  He will give us a refreshing and renewing spirit - to those who are tired and worn out - from the trials and testes we have endured in life. Even our young people will grow tired and give up.  But if we wait upon the lord to raise us up with his marvelous power and strength -we will get up on our feet and have more strength than ever before. At this point we can go on in life without being as tired and weary.


*** Please Lord, "CREATE IN US A CLEAN HEART, AND RENEW THE RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN US - SO WE MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST YOU.


Lord, please give us double for our trouble - until we meet again soon.
