Isaiah 42  A wonderful passage proclaiming the truths about the Messiah.. Jesus!

 He is:

Chosen and a delight to the Father.
Filled by the Holy Spirit.
The One who brings justice to the whole world.
The One who is so gentle He will not bring harm to those broken.
Faithful to do justice.
Not disheartened or crushed.
Appointed as a covenant to the people.
A light to the nations.
The One who opens blind eyes.
The One who frees the captive,

V5-6  " Thus says God the Lord who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its offspring, who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk in it, ' I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness, I will also hold you by the hand and watch over you... '"

He will not give His glory to another
He will bring forth righteousness and justice.
He will judge those who refuse to turn from their sins.


"You have seen many things, but your do not observe them; your ears are open, but none hears,"
Israel had every opportunity to repent and turn to their God .  We have the same opportunity.

O God, will You "make darkness light" for us?  Will You make ears that hear and heed Your Truth?  Will You open the blind eyes of Your servants?  May there be a turning to You like never before!
Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.  Lord,  You know our needs today.  We look to You for provision and safety.  Hold our hands and watch over us today we pray, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
