Finding the treasures of the dark

Are you ready for a fuller picture of God giving us as a promise to the world who does not know Him?  God gives more clarity through Isaiah:  "I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee."  Others are the ransom paid that we might live.  Do you remember Paul said he was debtor to all...so are we.  That is a humbling, yet empowering, concept, isn't it?

Before Isaiah shares these words, God reminds that He created us for His glory; He shapes our lives; He blots out our sins--that we dragged Him into with us--for HIS glory.  And He calls us to witness what He has done and calls us to be His servant.  My heart aches to understand--and help others understand the love revealed in the works of God. They are glorious!

The treasures in dark times must not be despised.  The price we pay is too high to waste it.  The price others have paid for our redemption must not be despised.  Let His light surround you and reveal His generosity for yourself and others!
