"GREAT IN THE WILDERNESS"
by
Pastor Tony Sutton |
|
|
|
Our way
to heaven lies through the wilderness of this world. The soul of
man is in want, and seeks for satisfaction; but becomes weary of
seeking that in the world, which is not to be had in it. Yet they
shall have a constant supply, where one would least expect it.
|
- Isa 41:10 Fear thou not; for
I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will
strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
- Isa 41:11 Behold, all they
that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and
confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive
with thee shall perish.
- Isa 41:12 Thou shalt seek
them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with
thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a
thing of nought.
- Isa 41:13 For I the LORD thy
God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I
will help thee.
|

WE ARE BUT WORMS
HUMBLE BEFORE GOD. THOUGH WE ARE WORN AND BEATEN, HE CAN CAUSE US
TO BE SHARP AND VIGOROUS, ABLE TO MAKE THE HILLS AS CHAFF.
|
- Isa 41:14 Fear not,
thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith
the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
- Isa 41:15 Behold, I will make
thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt
thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the
hills as chaff.
- Isa 41:16 Thou shalt fan
them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind
shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and
shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
|

I will
open rivers of grace, rivers of living water, which Christ spake
of the Spirit, John 7:38,39. When God sets up his church in the
Gentile wilderness, there shall be a great change, as if thorns
and briers were turned into cedars, and fir-trees, and myrtles.
These blessings are kept for the poor in spirit, who long for
Divine enlightening, pardon, and holiness. And God will render
their barren souls fruitful in the grace of his Spirit, that all
who behold may consider it.
|
- Isa 41:17 When the poor
and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue
faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of
Israel will not forsake them.
- Isa 41:18 I will open rivers
in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I
will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land
springs of water.
- Isa 41:19 I will plant in the
wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and
the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the
pine, and the box tree together:
- Isa 41:20 That they may see,
and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand
of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath
created it.
