Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
"At the end of the seventy years the LORD shall visit Tyre. She shall return to her hire and serve as prostitute with all the world's kingdoms on the face of the earth. But her merchandise and her hire shall be sacred to the LORD. It shall not be stored up or laid away; instead, her merchandise shall belong to those who dwell before the LORD, to eat their fill and clothe themselves in choice attire." Isaiah 23:17-18
Isaiah 23 - Restoration. The port city Tyre is destroyed, it believed in its own success and this was its down fall. The world convinced it how great and powerful it was, this was its destruction. We all have gifts and talents given to us by God, we can use them for God or for self. The port city was restored and began again to be a center of enterprise for the benefit of God's people. "Entrust your works to the LORD, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3 We are to go into the world but not be transformed by it. Jesus ate with sinners but did not become sin himself. When we take God everywhere we go and recognize that the results are his and his alone, we are doing His will, our needs will be provided for. "Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. For by the grace given to me I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than one ought to think, but to think soberly, each according to the measure of faith that God has apportioned." Romans 12:2-3 Be restored through the will of God.

What is God saying to me: Walk in Faith
Dear Father, sometimes we need destruction to get our priorities in line with Your will. You created us in Your image and likeness but our own flawed nature begins to believe the results are our own. Walking with You and not concerned with the result, You always provide. Thank You Father for the beautiful people who share their lives in humble ways that reveals Your truth in scripture. I see You restoring hope and peace within souls. Bless this day Father, help us commit our ways to You. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
