And no the Lord says, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him; and that Israel might be gathered to him - for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord, and my God has become my strength - he says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth."
This is Jesus. But there's also the wonderful idea of God forming us in our mothers' wombs to be exactly who we are becoming. I love that. I love that God has a plan. I feel so out-of-control sometimes that it is really reassuring to know that at least someone has an idea of what's going on and not only that, that person has also planned for all this to happen. That is really awesome to me.
Jesus wasn't just sent to Israel. That's the other great promise here (and all over the Bible). Sometimes it's hard to feel like I have a share in the inheritance because I have no connection to Israel, but I am an adopted daughter of Abraham through my faith in Jesus. I have a share in the inheritance because Jesus is my light. Such good news!!
Lord, I praise You for the Good News You give in each line of Your Word. I pray I would find peace and strength in these Truths today. You have a plan for me. You love me and have saved me. Praise You for what You do because You know I don't deserve. I am no worthy of Your love. You are good Lord, so good! You have done great things! Praise You for Your good works!!
Amen. Amen. Amen.
