Lent - Day Thirty Six

Pinterest

"No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married. As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you." Isaiah 62 verses 4-5

Hephzibah - my delight is in her, wife of King Hezekiah.

Beulah - The Lord's country.

What do people say of the church in England?  deserted, desolate?  

Probably other things.  Irrelevant, out dated, misdirected.

This prophecy says this will change.  How?  Just as a young couple only have eyes for each other.  We will not care what others think.  It will become almost irrelevant.  The Creator is uniting with those who are besotted.  The Creator rejoices, and nothing else matters.

Question:  Do I retain my first love?

Prayer: In baptism I have made a covenant to only love and adore you.
