Monday's Devo - The Song of the Redeemed

Read Isa. 25:1-12
This is the song of the redeemed. They are the ones that came out of the tribulation and live in the millennial reign. They have seen God tear down mighty nations and turn thriving cities into a heap of ashes. But to the remnant, God was strength to the poor and needy and a refuge from all the horrible tribulation. "In this mountain" in verse 6 is talking about Jerusalem where Gentiles from all over the earth will come and enjoy a banquet of the finest food. Jesus will once and for all end death and we will celebrate victory. Every hurt, abuse, sorrow or sadness will be taken away and all our disappointments will be fulfilled. God will fulfill all his promises and it will be better than we could ever imagine. God will bring down the strongholds of the enemy forever. What a day that will be! I keep thinking about the people who don't like parties or large groups of people who might read this and want to panic. The glorious thing is that we will all be healed of all our hang-ups and insecurities. We will all know each other and love each other with Jesus' love. He was never afraid of people.
Lord, thank you for writing all this in a book and letting us know the end so we can have hope. All our hope is in you.
