Isaiah 18 - The Conquering Army


"Then will gifts be brought to the LORD of hosts—to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, Mount Zion—from a people tall and bronzed, from a people dreaded near and far, a nation strong and conquering, whose land is washed by rivers."  ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭18:7‬

Isaiah 18 - The Conquering Army.   The Israelites conquered the Egyptians without lifting a finger.  The Christians conquered the Roman Empire without lifting a finger through martyrdom.  Jesus conquered the world on the cross without putting up a fight.  A nation strong and conquering does not rely upon its own strength, it places its trust in Yahweh.  Isaiah speaks of events of his time but once again they hold true for this day and age.  Place your trust in God and Him alone, do not fear the dark of night and fight the battle without putting up a fight.  In the end God triumphs.  

What is God saying to me:  The battle is Mine, be obedient to My voice.  

Dear Father, the imagery You paint through Your Saints stands time, it speaks through the ages and allows us to see how we are to respond in Love.  Father Thank You for a beautiful morning, enjoying the sounds of family and family life.  Help us live in the here and now, may we realize that with You, all is well.  Without You, we are buzzard food, according to Your word.  "They shall all be left to the mountain vultures and to the beasts of the earth; The vultures shall summer on them, all the beasts of the earth shall winter on them."  ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭18:6‬  God, You are the choice that saves and helps us grow strong in Your presence.  Bless this day, grow the seed that we plant this day for Your glory.  In Jesus name, Amen.

Mary, Our Lady of Good Health, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
