“I
Will Take Hold Of Your Hand”
“Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom
I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the
nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. A
bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In
faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the islands will put
their hope.”
This
is what God the LORD says— the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out,
who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it, who gives breath to
its people, and life to those who walk on it: “I, the LORD, have called you in
righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that
are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those
who sit in darkness.
Isaiah 42:1-7
When
we were children, adults looked so big to us. The same might be said for how we
view God. We are small, He is mighty and large. And maybe we are afraid,
without realizing that He sent His Son Jesus down to our level. Jesus was sent
to save us from our sins. Jesus came to us as a lowly servant, our Creator took
on the form of someone of this earth, so that He could show us His love. How
about we show Him how much we love Him by celebrating Christmas in the true
spirit of what it was meant to be?
The high and holy One became the meek and lowly One.
