During my very brief (it is always brief when you are a mom) time with the Lord, I stumbled onto this verse. It is so fitting, especially after just celebrating Easter. God is good, isn't he? Who else can say they serve a God like this? A God who stoops down to his people. A God who counts our very tears, who lays out our paths before us, who gives wisdom to those who ask and grants salvation to the very worst of sinners. I would choose no other God and am so glad he chose me.
"The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was noone, he was appalled that there was noone to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak. According to what THEY have done, so will HE repay wrath to his enemies and retribution to his foes; for HE will repay the islands their due." Isaiah 59:15b-18
You know, all of my kids have Bible verses that go with each name. It is a way for me to pray for them and claim something for their lives. Maybe #4 should be Isaiah.

Our Isaiah got his name because the whole book is FULL of great truths like that one. :)
