Faith, tailored for you and I as we put our trust in Jesus Christ

Isaiah 28: 16-17, Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem.  It is firm, a tested and precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.  Whoever believes need never run away again [anyone who believes in him will not be disapponted.]  I will take the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness to check the foundation wall you have built."


Isaiah 28:23-29, Lisen to me; listen as I plead! Does a farmer always plow and never sow? Is he forever cultivating the soil and never planting it? Does he not finally plant his seeds for dill, cumin, wheat, barley, and spelt, each in its own section of his land?  The farmer knows just what to do, for God has given him understanding.  He doesn't thresh all his crops the same way.  A heavy sledge is never used on dill; rather, it is beaten with a light stick.  A threshing wheel is never rolled on cumin; instead, it is beaten sofltly with a flail. Bread grain is easily crushed, so he doesn't keep on pounding  it.  He threshes it under the wheels of a cart, but he doesn't pulverize it.  The LORD Almighty is a wonderful teacher, and he gives the farmer great wisdom.

Lamentations 3:22-27, The unfailing love of the LORD never ends! BY his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, "The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!" The LORD is wonderfully good to those who wait for him and seek him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the LORD. And it is good for the young to submit to the yoke of his discipline.

vs. 31-33, For the Lord does not abandon anyone forever.  Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion according to the greatness of his unfailing love.   For he does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow.

May God's Word and your experience of its truth build you and strengthen you to the end. God Bless you!
