OUR FATHER WHO IS DRAWING BACK HIS PRODIGAL CHILDREN

Isaiah chapter 57 verse 14 says this;

And it will be said: “Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”

This verse is speaking of the prodigal children of God who went their own way and pursued their own lives and purposes and engaged in sinful actions.

The Lord commands that building be done for them.  Roads must be prepared for them and obstacles removed from their paths as they return home.

 Those returning with contrite hearts and are lowly in spirit will be invited to live with the Lord on His holy mountain as it says in verse 15;

“I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit,

The Lord said that even though He was angry at His people for leaving Him to chase their sinful greed, He would not stay angry at them forever.

Even though the Lord punished them and hid His face from them, He resolved to heal His people and to guide them. He promised to create praise on their lips and He offered them real peace however far they were returning from.

As Isaiah chapter 56 verse 18 and 19 says;

 I have seen their ways, but I will heal them;  I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s mourners, creating praise on their lips. Peace, peace, to those far and near,” says the Lord. “And I will heal them.”

The Lord is bringing back His prodigal children who are contrite before Him.

Let roads be prepared and obstacles be removed from their paths.

Amen
