Mon.'s Devo - The Great Return

Read Isa. 11:10-12:6
In God's kingdom Israel will turn back to him and be restored to the land. They will raise their flag and many will come to show their allegiance to Israel's God. Nations will either turn to God or become his adversary. Jews from all over the world will come back to Israel and Israel will no longer be a divided nation but Judah and Israel will be restored to one. Together they will defeat and dominate the nations of the world. Once again God will dry up the Read Sea and the Euphrates River so that God's remnant will be able to return on dry ground. This will be a time to praise the Lord, because the time of God's anger will be over and God will truly be their salvation and their song. God will receive his people and comfort them with his love. Joy and singing will return and God's renown will be praised on the roof tops. What a joyful time this will be. This is what Israel has been waiting for. This is what we Gentiles have been waiting for. I went to visit my grand babies a few days ago and had such a great time but when I drove into Tulsa I was so glad to be home. I think this is just a drop in the bucket of how they will feel on this day.
Lord, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for protection for your people. We look forward to the day when you will be revealed to the nations and to your people.
