OUR FATHER WHO COMFORTS HIS PEOPLE AFTER HIS JUDGEMENT VISITS THEM

The book of Isaiah chapter 11 12 verse 17 1 says this;

On that day you will say, “Praise the Lord! He was angry with me, but now he comforts me.

The people of God, in the face of a great calamity, are filled with consternation as their security and the economy collapses around them.

As they bow under the Lord's judgement, they suddenly find reprieve when the Lord's anger abates and He turns to comfort them.

In relief, they will praise their God and honor Him as He ministers to them and provides all that they have need of  during the complete failure of the economy.

It is during this period that the Lord's people are encouraged to valiantly help their neighbours using what they have been blessed with as described in Isaiah chapter 16 verse 4;

Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you; be their shelter from the destroyer.”

The oppressor will come to an end,  and destruction will cease;  the aggressor will vanish from the land.

God's people are assured that they can shelter their neighbours from the oppressor who had set upon the destruction of the world because the Lord would bring a sudden and complete remival of the aggressor.

In times of calamity, let us shield our neighbours using the provisions and protection with which we ourselves are blessed by our Father in heaven

Amen.
