God has had me read this section of scripture over and over for the past week or so, and every time i get something new out of it. I feel like He is speaking to me about the show and the trip and all of it through this passage so much and i just wanted to share it. i cant even say what exactly i am getting out of it because i think it would only make sense to me...but i will say just read it and ask Him to speak through it. so much good and powerful stuff in it!
the most recent part He has made stand out is at the end - starting at v.12, its just God reminding us who He is. He is the one in charge...He can do anything He wants. Including put together a team and a show in a really short amount of time on limited practice, and create a show out of it...;) but really - HE CAN. and SO many times over the past few months God has said to me...
"the bigger and more impossible this gets...the more I can be seen"
and who are we to deny God that? :) so here we are, two weeks before our first performance...trusting God for every single piece of it. trusting the very same God who stirs up the waves and makes them roar...
this should not be happening, it shouldn't be coming together, it shouldnt be working...its crazy. absolutely crazy.
but whats crazier...is that it IS.
so we will see you all on April 10th at 7pm. ready to see why God has called us to this place and time in this way...
keep all of this in your prayers and things are being learned, scripts being memorized and final pieces being put in place...
1"Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD, look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug. 2Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you; for he was but one when I called him, that I might bless him and multiply him. 3For the LORD comforts Zion; he comforts all her waste places
and makes her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song. 4 "Give attention to me, my people, and give ear to me, my nation; for a law will go out from me, and I will set my justice for a light to the peoples.5 My righteousness draws near, my salvation has gone out,and my arms will judge the peoples; the coastlands hope for me, and for my arm they wait. 6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and they who dwell in it will die in like manner; but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will never be dismayed. 7 "Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear not the reproach of man, nor be dismayed at their revilings. 8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations." 9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in days of old the generations of long ago. Was it not you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the dragon? 10 Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over? 11 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 12"I, I am he who comforts you; who are you that you are afraid of man who dies, of the son of man who is made like grass, 13and have forgotten the LORD, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, and you fear continually all the day because of the wrath of the oppressor,
when he sets himself to destroy? And where is the wrath of the oppressor? 14 He who is bowed down shall speedily be released; he shall not die and go down to the pit, neither shall his bread be lacking. 15I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
the LORD of hosts is his name.
