Isaiah 12

"Then you will say on that day, I will give thanks to You, O Lord; For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid"

So...our days of trouble will end, God will provide a highway back to himself, and we will finally recognize life for what it really is: a fearless intimacy with God.

By the way...that "highway" was built by His Son, Jesus Christ. When he became a man, was crucified, suffered and died, he paid the entire cost of our sin. When he arose he infused eternal life into all those who believe. Death is no more!

I have a great respect for President Eisenhower, and for the interstate highway system he built, But...in his wildest dreams...DDE could never have contemplated a highway straight to the heart of God.

Even better...it's not a future hope. Salvation has come to us and is available now. When we receive that gift we are given spiritual eyes to recognize it's not about the trouble behind us, it's about the promise before us.

Live boldly out there today...
