ISAIAH 25:8-9 (2025)

ISAIAH 25:8-9

He will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken.

It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God;
we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

---- mine,

There is a time in every life for seasons of mourning, grief, and loss, as well as seasons of restoration, joy, and peace. During these times of trial, do not give yourself over to excessive grief, as this will lead to despair and acute distress, and this has no place in the lives of those whom I have called to be My own. There must be times of suffering in every life; only then can you be pruned. In the crucible of suffering, all the dross is burned away. Sorrow endured in the right spirit will make you more and more in the image and likeness of the One who created you, redeemed you, and continues to sanctify you. I AM the God who saves. I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever. By the power of My love, I have called you from darkness into My own marvelous light. Fear nothing, ---- my own, except the loss of your soul. Pray constantly with confidence and faith, and I assure you that I will do all that I have promised to do. Have faith and you will see God accomplish the impossible in your life and in the lives of those you love and pray for so ardently.
