“Shout!”

 “Shout!”

 

A voice said, “Shout!” I asked, what should I shout?”  “Shout that people are like grass.  Their beauty fades as quickly as the flowers in a field. The grass withers and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the LORD.  And so, it is with people.  The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the Word of our God stands forever.”  Isaiah 40:6-8

In these verses, we are told that there are TWO voices.  There is NO indication as to WHO these voices are.  Personally, I believe them to be, GOD speaking to ISAIAH, and telling him to SHOUT to the PEOPLE, the words that He was about to give him.  And these are the words: “SHOUT! That the People are like grass.  Their beauty fades as quickly as the FLOWERS in a field.  The concept of, “HERE TODAY and GONE TOMORROW.” 

They are NOT permanent, they have “NO ETERNAL DESTINY.  But HUMANITY does POSSESS an ETERNAL DESTINY.  And therefore, the CHILD of the LIVING GOD has the HOPE of spending THEIR ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS and ESCAPING HELL with ALL its HORRORS. 

We have this HOPE because, we have the PROMISE of GOD’S HOLY WORD. And His WORD will NEVER FAIL.  Its BEAUTY will NEVER WITHER, nor will it FADE AWAY.  And this is exactly what the Israelites NEEDED to hear! THEY like WE, NEED to KNOW that we have a SURE and STEADFAST HOPE.     Do YOU have a HOPE like that?  Are you SURE that you have GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY?  You can be! 

Here is what you MUST DO;  First, ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, GOD’S ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the ONE who SUFFERED, BLED, DIED, and was RESURRECTED to SECURE YOU a PLACE in HEAVEN. You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU and that HE is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then be READY and WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and SHARE THE GOOD NEWS! “JESUS SAVES and COMING SOON!!” GET READY for HIS COMING!!! And DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!  It COULD BE TODAY!!
