He's Calling Us!

Hey guys! I get this daily prayer thing on email from my sister's church back home....thought I would share today because it's pretty relevant to what we talked about last night!! Enjoyed worshipping with you all - have a great day!!

“For you shall go out [from the spiritual exile caused by sin and evil into the homeland] with joy and be led forth [by your Leader, the Lord Himself, and His Word] with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:12 (AMP)

Lord, there is no beauty and joy in the desolate places of separation from you. Yet so many of us have found ourselves there, broken and alone, seeking to find something or someone to lead us out. Perhaps we found temporary joy or solace in people, activities, or even substances, but those joys always vanished like mirages in the vast desert wasteland where we lived. But it was there we found you. When there was nothing else left, we heard you calling us from the hills above us. As we stepped cautiously toward you, like a glorious moment of reunion, the hills suddenly broke forth into singing and the trees applauded and cheered! We had found our way home!May we never forget Lord, the glorious day you led us forth from our places of exile and into the promised land of eternity with you. And on those days when we are weak or discouraged and look back, may your Word and your presence shift our eyes to the hills once more. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

“I lift up my eyes to the hills--where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV)
