God Has A Plan

 Is 45: 6c-8; 21b-25

Find light, peace and comfort in the Lord

I am the LORD, there is no other;
I form the light, and create the darkness,
I make well-being and create woe;
I, the LORD, do all these things.
Let justice descend, O heavens, like dew from above,
like gentle rain let the skies drop it down.
Let the earth open and salvation bud forth;
let justice also spring up!
I, the LORD, have created this.

For thus says the LORD,
The creator of the heavens,
who is God,
The designer and maker of the earth
who established it,
Not creating it to be a waste,
but designing it be lived in:
I am the LORD, and there is no other.

Who announced this from the beginning
and foretold it from of old?
Was it not I, the LORD,
besides whom there is no other God?
There is no just and saving God but me.

Turn to me and be safe,
all you ends of the earth,
for I am God; there is no other!
By myself I swear,
uttering my just decree
and my unalterable word:
To me every knee shall bend;
by me every tongue shall swear,
Saying, “Only in the LORD
are just deeds and power.
Before him in shame shall come
all who vent their anger against him.
In the LORD shall be the vindication and the glory
of all the descendants of Israel.”

Soak in this rich passage from the "Book of Consolation" and find peace as the pressures of the Pandemic, and dilemmas about how we are going to celebrate Christmas mount.  The beauty and serenity of this passage are the perfect antidote to our anxieties and offer comfort to our be-leagued souls. God has a  plan, and certainly the Creator of the universe will not abandon us., indeed he will be our vindication and glory.  Re-read these  consoling verses, reflect, be at  peace.
