Isaiah 49:10 and Leaves in a Stream, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina.

“They will not hunger or thirst, nor will the scorching heat or sun strike them down; For He who has compassion on them will lead them and will guide them to springs of water.” Isaiah 49:10

Spiritual Springs

In the presence of our Lord we find springs of water that refresh and restore our souls. The water that Christ gives is different from all other water. It’s spiritual water. This spiritual living water flows from Christ through those who believe. The Bible calls us to drink of this water to experience eternal life in Jesus.

Isaiah 49 is about God’s redemption. Read more here.

“How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace and brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, and says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’” Isaiah 52:7

God Reigns

I love how this verse uses the beautiful imagery of mountains to announce that the God of the Bible reigns. The verse proclaims He will bring peace and redemption to His people.

Whatever is going on your life today, good or bad, remember, the good news the Bible proclaims is, “Your God Reigns!”

Read all Isaiah 52 and be encouraged to know God redeems His people.

Isaiah 40:9 & Part of the Snowy Range Mountains, Wyoming.

“Go up on a high mountain, Zion, messenger of good news, Raise your voice forcefully, Jerusalem, messenger of good news; Raise it up, do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, ‘Here is your God!’” Isaiah 40:9

Declare God from the Mountain Tops

I like it when Bible verses and worship songs mention mountains. One modern worship song speaks of praising God from the valley to the mountain tops. It is speaking in metaphorical terms, but it creates a great visual image from nature of how we should praise God.

Isaiah 40:9 also tells of speaking of God from a high mountain in metaphorical terms. This passage uses mountains to tell of the importance of declaring the greatness of God to everyone. Our God needs to be declared from a place where everyone can hear. People need to know that God is awesome, and we are called to proclaim that message.

Haggai 2:9 and The Sky Reflects off a Lake at Sunset, Orlando Wetlands Park, Central Florida.

“The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the LORD Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the LORD Almighty.” Haggai 2:9

Grant Peace

70 years after the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem, also known as Solomon’s Temple, Zerubbabel (a descendent of David) led the Jews to build a second temple. Compared to the Solomon’s Temple, it wasn’t much of anything. But God promised them that glory of the second temple would be greater than the first.

After King Herod finished adding to the second temple, it definitely was more glorious than the first. Not only that, Christ Himself physically entered the second temple, but it is possible that this prophecy is alluding to a temple more spiritual in nature. The prophecy may truly be fulfilled in the person Christ. When God grants peace in Christ, that peace surpasses all other peace.

Dear Lord, grant us your peace today and everyday. May we trust in You and someday may we enjoy the glory of Your eternal house.

Isaiah 12:2, 3 a Stream, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee.

“’Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.’ Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation.” Isaiah 12:2, 3

Refreshes and Restores

Is there anything more refreshing than a freshwater spring or a mountain stream? So often the Scripture uses such imagery as metaphor for what God gives to us. He makes us clean and refreshes our souls. There is nothing more pure than our God and the sanctification He gives to us. In His sanctification and refreshment we find salvation through Christ alone.

Oh Lord, cleanse, refresh and restore us. Amen
