Old Promises New Realities
Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7: 13 & 14
To be slow to believe
and hard to hear
is not a new thing.
Human hearts
are not soft to
God’s miracles
and promises.
In turmoil
God pointed to hope
a King
defeater of enemies.
When all is dark
and the gloom descends
remember
a child was born,
promises fulfilled,
a King delivered.

“I find the older I get the more reflective I become.” Perhaps, this is a sign of maturity. “A wicked man puts up a bold front, but an upright man gives thought to his ways.” Prov. 21:29 NIV 1984.
Thank you. Great text – fits in nicely.
With age, comes the wisdom of refection…to look back and remember what He did for us.
That is the joy of getting older!
