BUT He was pierced (Isaiah 53:5)

BUT He was pierced for our transgressions,

    He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on Him,
    and by His wounds we are healed.

Isaiah 53:5

On this Good Friday please take time to remember what He did

so you could live with peace and the hope of Eternity.

 

BUT... the Lord rises upon you (Isaiah 60)

Arise, shine, for your light has come. Darkness covers the earth, 

BUT THE LORD rises upon you, and his glory appears over you.
Isaiah 60 

As I spent me first day as a flight attendant I met a girl who was going to Alaska and she talked about growing up there and how hard the winters were because there was only an hour or two of daylight.
 It is comforting to know that darkness may cover the earth BUT The Lord rises up!

But... those who wait on the Lord (Isaiah 41:31)

BUT...

those who wait on the Lord

Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.

 Isaiah 41:31
Are you growing tired? That often happens during the holiday season stop and imagine a picture of an eagle soaring..... relax, you have the strength within you to make it through.
We all have a lot to do BUT when we focus on Jesus we will not faint. 

BUT...they who wait for the Lord (Isaiah 40:31)

BUT... They that wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31 

Today I begin my journey and official go to Detroit to start my flying career. I've got my WINGS, They tell me there will eb plenty of long days praise God I will not grow weary!

BUT... I will not always be angry (Isaiah 57)

I was enraged by your willful sins BUT I will not always be angry. Although I have seen your ways I will heal you, guide you, and restore comfort to you.

 

Isaiah 57

Are you involved in something today that you know you ought not be?                                                                              Take the first step and admit it. God will take care of the rest. 

 

 

 

 

BUT... also with those who have a broken heart (Isaiah 57)

Sure, I live in a high and holy place, 

BUT... also with those who have a broken heart
to revive their spirit. 

Isaiah 57

It is so awesome to realize that even though God lives in a high and holy place He also lives with us. So no matter what you are going through hold onto this promise that God is with you and He will revive your spirit. 

BUT... my salvation will be forever. (Isaiah 51:6)

I love God's timing it is perfect. Just as I am beginning my training to be a flight attendant and I will have more opportunity to look at the earth beneath us. I am reminded that it will vanish BUT for those of us who have put our trust in JESUS - we will have together forever. (see you someday my sweet Crystal)

BUT... there is something I am looking for (Isaiah 88:1)

God’s Message: “Heaven’s my throne, earth is my footstool. What sort of house could you build for me? What holiday spot reserve for me? I made all this! I own all this!” God’s Decree.

“BUT…

There is something I’m looking for:

A person simple and plain, reverently responsive to what I say.

Isaiah 88:1 MSG

It’s awesome for me to think about all the places I have traveled and this beautiful earth God has created. BUT then when I visualize this verse I simply laugh. Earth is God’s footstool! Listen closely to what God has to say today.

BUT... He was pierced for our rebellion (Isaiah 53:4-5)

Jesus was innocent
Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
it was our sorrows that weighed him down.
And we thought His troubles were

 a punishment from God,
a punishment for His own sins!
But…

He was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.

Isaiah 53:4-5 (NLT)

NO matter what you have done in or with your life> Jesus died to provide a way for you to have a relationship with the Heavenly Father. You don’t need any other human here on earth to intervene for you. You can’t be good enough or bad enough to earn or loss what He had come to earth to do. This Easter week STOP and make the greatest decision of your life Accept the gift of Jesus that God the creator of the universe sent for YOU!

BUT... there is something I am looking for ((Isaiah 66:1)

What sort of house could you build for me?

What holiday spot reserve for me? I made all this!

I own all this!" God's Decree.

"But…

 there is something I'm looking for:

a person simple and plain,

reverently responsive to what I say.

(Isaiah 66:1 MSG)

What I love about this verse is that God is not telling us that we can’t have nice things BUT when it comes to what we have to offer Him the things is not what He desires. What pleases Him is when we listen to what He has to say and humbly do it. Take the challenge this Easter week.

Take time to listen to Him and respond.
