“Arise,
shine; for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.”
Isaiah 60:1
If we live long enough something
happens to all of us. We get old. Even if we don’t say it we start to think, “Remember
when”. The children we held as babes in our arms have given us a second
generation to dote upon, and as time progresses, those new ones bring us another
generation. Now our children are the doting grandparents and we have become a
little more peripheral. The world ahead begins to come a little more in focus
as the world in which we live drifts a little further from our control.
As we come to the last few chapters
of Isaiah we find him in this position. He has been prophesying for sixty
years. He is an old man. The final chapters of his visions are of the distant
future. He sees the promises of God fulfilled. He preaches great hope and peace
for God’s people. He still has an
important ministry and that is to encourage the people around him.
Dear Father, Help us to continue our
ministry until You take us home. Amen.
