It Shall Be Well With You
Text:
Isaiah 3:1 - 11
At
times there is the need for re-assurance from God in the course of our heavenly
race. Most people used by God in the scriptures at one time or the other cried
out to God for re-assurance. When Jesus Christ was in agony and pain on the
Cross of Calvary, He cried out (Mathew 25:46). David also did it as we can see
in Psalm 22:1. Paul did same as we have in 2 Corinthians 12:9. Have you asked
God for re-assurance once? Share your experience if you are studying as a
group.
This
encouragement for the righteous was aimed at making them to trust Him, and for
sinners to repent and return to Him. This is so because it was time for the
Lord to show His might (Isaiah 3:1 – 9). It is an assurance to the godly that
God will defend them in the midst of these troubles. “It shall be well with the
righteous,” is in all ramifications of life; prosperity, adversity,
sickness, health, death, judgement, and through eternity. In every case,
occurrence and circumstances, the righteous shall eat of the fruit of his
labours.
Beloved
in Christ, I bring you re-assurance again that despite the problems of
sickness, delayed conception, getting a spouse; a job, admission, any many
other human needs we might be facing at this moment, God is saying today that
your righteous life is not in vain (Hebrews 6:10). There is a reward for you
and you will certainly eat the fruits of your labours and righteousness. Read
Psalm 1:1 – 3
Food for
Thought:
Ecclesiastics 8:12
Memory verse: Isaiah 3:10
Prayer: Lord God, as I follow your
ways in righteousness, grant that it shall be well with me in all I do in Jesus
name.
