Texts for Tonight

Texts for Tonight

I never post only Scripture, but tonight is a good night to do so…

“O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,…
Isaiah 54.11-17

I will repay you for the years
    that the swarming locust has eaten,
the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter,
    my great army, which I sent against you.

Isaiah 53.3

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

All of these Texts have been of tremendous worth to me over the years, for countless personal reasons.

I share them here tonight as they come to mind.

It is as if the Holy Spirit whispered them to me. There is no particular order, other than the free-flow of the Spirit whispering them to me, stirring my remembrance.

God have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
