God is committed to your splendor

We are looking forward to having Jim Robbins on the radio show, May 26. Here’s an article from Jim that will inspire you today.

What if God couldn’t keep quiet about you? Eager to show you off — to expose not your sin; but your splendor and goodness?

Your glory is God’s mission. Listen to what he says:

1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
her salvation like a blazing torch.

2 The nations will see your righteousness,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name
that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.

3 You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 No longer will they call you Deserted,
or name your land Desolate.
But you will be called Hephzibah, [my delight is in her]
and your land Beulah [married] ;
for the LORD will take delight in you,
and your land will be married.

5 As a young man marries a maiden,
so will your sons marry you;
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice over you.

Isaiah 62:1-5

Let him do this. It’s quite possibly backwards from what you’ve been taught your whole life. Give him permission to show you off.

It’s not about morality (as good as that is) or right behavior and sin management. It’s about something else. A restored heart. Learn more about Jim and his writings at www.robbinswritings.com
