"He will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces; The reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken. On that day it will be said: "Indeed, this is our God; we looked to him, and he saved us! This is the LORD to whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!"" Isaiah 25:8-9
Isaiah 25:1-9 Heaven on Earth. "and he saved us!" captures my attention, it is in the past tense, it has already happened. "For you have made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin, The castle of the insolent, a city no more, not ever to be rebuilt." Isaiah 25:2 What city is Isaiah speaking of? I see the heart, our own hearts. The definition of insolent is lack of respect, do our hearts reflect the joy that God gives us or does it still have walls built up in an effort to protect itself. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven resides in the heart, if Christ resides there then it is Heaven. Examine the fortified city, who is King within, your actions and words will be the judge.

What is God saying to me: you place yourself on the throne and you feel the ill effects of that. Be conscious of your actions and your words, I will sit upon the throne, it is My rightful place, when I Am there, there is no sin.
Dear Father, You open up mysteries within Your word, I am thankful for Your grace that You give each of us. I am blessed to know friends that even in their silence are great teachers. You know I have much to learn and each day is an opportunity to put into practice the joys of Your Spirit. Reveal the areas of my heart that needs addressed, remove the sin that does not belong there, I give You full authority to be the King of my heart, You know what is best, I only think I do. Prayers for a friend recovering from back surgery, bless his day with joy. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Good Success, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
