Read Isaiah 65 – 66

Isa 66:7-8 “Before the birth pains even begin, Jerusalem gives birth to a son. 8 Who has ever seen anything as strange as this? Who ever heard of such a thing? Has a nation ever been born in a single day?

GOD is a glorious creator! Read Genesis 1 and 2. See the glory of God shaping and creating a wondrous universe. See him create our parents. And watch as the animals come forth for Adam to name. A universe in a week! That’s our God. No one like him!

And Isaiah’s prophecy tells us he will again do something magnificent and beyond our understanding. He will cause “Jerusalem to give birth to a son”. What does that mean?

Here is a prophecy that God will bring forth his church in a single day. Here is the prophecy of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon 125 disciples in an upper room. Here is Peter preaching the first sermon. Here are 3,000 being saved that day!

Yes, Isaiah looks ahead, and he sees God magnificently creating once again.

If you feel at the end of your rope, or even if you’re simply wondering, “How’s this issue going to get better?” Then look to your Creator. The one who makes marvelous changes, even in a single day.

Your creator is one you can go to. He is one you can trust. He will bring change when you call on his name.
