Sweet Again

Bible in a Year:

• Ezekiel 35–36
• 2 Peter 1

On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples.

Isaiah 25:6 Russian wedding customs are filled with beauty and significance. One such custom takes place during the reception as the toastmaster proposes a toast in honor of the couple. Everyone takes a sip from their raised glass and then shouts, “Gor’ko! Gor’ko!” meaning “Bitter! Bitter!” When the guests shout that word, the newlyweds must rise and kiss each other in order to make the drink sweet again.

Isaiah prophesies that the bitter drink of desolation, ruin, and the curse upon the earth (ch. 24) will give way to the sweet hope of a new heaven and new earth (ch. 25). God will prepare a feast of rich foods and the finest and sweetest of drinks. It will be a banquet of continual blessing, fruitfulness, and provision for all people (25:6). There’s more. Under the sovereign reign of the righteous King, death is swallowed up, bitter tears are wiped away, and the shroud of disgrace is removed (vv. 7–8). And His people will rejoice because the One they trusted in and waited for will bring salvation and turn the bitter cup of life sweet again (v. 9).

One day, we’ll be together with Jesus at the wedding supper of the Lamb. When He welcomes His bride (the church) home, the promise of Isaiah 25 will be fulfilled. The life once bitter will be made sweet again.

Reflect & Pray

What makes you long for God to make what is bitter sweet again? While you wait for Jesus’ return, what are some things you can do to make others’ bitter experience sweet again?

God, as I witness and experience so much pain, suffering, ruin, and death, sometimes it’s difficult to believe You’ll make what is bitter sweet again. Help me to put my hope in You, the One who’s promised to give me beauty for ashes and joy for mourning.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Good evening, Mayor, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...a Blessed Kird’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Any better weather for getting out and walking?

[left that other site]

Actually, today would have been perfect for hiking, but my sister needed me to drive her to the ER, and hours later, to drive her home.

NOT Covid-related, but she is having really bad GI Problems.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

Wonderful story, thanks Kathy (and Rose).

One more thing about getting old:

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

I just came in from standing out front with the neighbor across the street. He came over to let me know he caught a couple guys trying to steal his snow blower about 4a. They had already dragged it to the bottom of his driveway.

He said his security system alerted him. He yelled at them wanting to know if they wanted to be shot! One fell down and ran across the bridge next to my house and over to the school yard, and the other jumped in the truck and spun out on the ice but finally left. I suspect a spin out was why my mailbox got flattened. Kids think doing donuts here in the cul-de-sac is fun.

How is daughter doing in the continuing imprisonment?

[PROCON]

Ugh, too bad with your mailbox, perhaps a new concrete post? 🙄

Darn trouble-making thieves!

Daughter is doing fine as can be expected in the Twilight Zone called Seattle.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luvie, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Thanks for the hymns.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I got a temporary mailbox til spring or whenever the ground thaws enough to get the post in the ground.
