DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ISAIAH 51:7-8

(7)  Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness,  the people in whose heart is my law;  fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
(8)  For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

UPON MOUNT ZION, SHALL BE DELIVERANCE!

Brethren, our father is a greater judge and does not abandon those who walk in uprightness, but he sustains them for ever:  our Father knows our frames before we were born, and remembers that we are dust, the beginning and end of our lives are before him; there nothing new about our lives that he does not already know; therefore, let us try to exercise patience with evil doers, understand why people do what they do, for some people are predestined to be wicked all their lives; however, we can affect positive changes, convert evil doers into righteousness, by praying for them, whether they do evil against us or not: let us leave all judgments unto our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, the judge of all humanity, trust him with all our hearts, souls and bodies; for he will not forsake his children who trust and believe in him for ever.

Case in point;  in the text for this morning, Prophet Isaiah is saying to humanity; "hear ye the words of our Father, for, those of you who walk in uprightness, and obey my words wholeheartedly; do not be afraid of those with evil surmising spirits, always finding faults of people personal matters, and to use publicly against them; or be troubled of their insults and abusive words; for numerous clothing insects will devour them like attires, and they will be eaten up by worms like wool; however, I am the LORD, my morality, rightfulness and justifiable ways, will never fail, but will remain for ever, and my saving grace throughout all generations;  therefore,  let us not worry about our enemies, but focus entirely on our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; bring all our troubles and place them upon his altar of grace, leave them there, free our minds, trust him to fight and win our battles; for, Jesus is already aware of our troubles and will fix them; but we still have to ask for his help to step into our lives and help us to overcome all storms of our lives.

Fruits of thoughts;  at times, when we are in difficult situations, and our faiths are being challenged by troubles of this world, our minds wonder around for answers, asking ourselves,  what is going on?  what did we do wrong?  are things going to get better?  and as enemies reproached, we ask ourselves, is our Father still with us?  can he hear our prayers?;  if we find ourselves in any storms of life today;  let us be encouraged that we are not alone in the storm, Jesus is with us, and walking with us through the storm:  for, Jesus Christ himself asked our Father some questions in the garden of Gethsemane when his enemies rose to condemn and crucify him on the cross; when he prayed without ceasing unto our Father, to cast away his trials and deliver him from hands of his enemies, our Father did not answer him or deliver him from his enemies, and he had to go through sufferings and death, to save humanity; however, after his troubles were over, our Father gave him power and authority over the entire universe forevermore.

Brethren, this is a lesson for all Christ believing sufferers of today;  there will be times in our lives, when in troubles, that our Father, will not answer our prayers, it does not mean that he did not hear our petitions when we pray unto him;  but he will not answer our prayers because we have to go through those storms and overcome by the blood of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and to receive everlasting blessings; and be perfect in his will;  however, when in storms, as humans we tend to look on the negative aspects of our troubles, but, there are always hidden positive aspects known to our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and if we persevere and forbear to the end of our troubles;  amazingly, we will see his handiwork and give him glory for ever;  therefore, when we are in storms of life, let us not worry but pray without ceasing, and thank our Father, leave everything in his hands through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, trust him with all our hearts, that when our troubles are completely over, he will restore our lives back into rightful standings, bless us with multiple blessings and glorify his Holy Name among the heathen forevermore.

CONCLUSION:  

Dearly beloved, Prophet Isaiah is saying to humanity;  those of you who walk in faith, in the will of our Father, and his in righteousness, do not fear reproaches of men or be terrified by their insults. but believe and trust in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; for he already suffered our reproaches, and conquered evil on our behalves by his death and resurrection, and there is a judgment day set aside for evil doers; on that faithful day, he will separate the wheat from the chaff; for it is written, "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers,  Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." (Matthew 13:30);  therefore, let us overcome all evil with good, pray for our enemies, leave everything in the hands of Jesus Christ and be happy; for he will not forsake his own children but will work all things together for good by his grace and peace forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
