Isaiah 48:17
This is what the Lord says-- your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.
Allow God to move in you and admonish you with the wisdom, joy, peace, knowledge, rest.... all that you desire. Receive it with an open heart and know that He will use the things He has blessed you with to teach you and mature you. He sets the straight path for us and it's up to us and our will to follow Him on this path that leads to good things.
Isaiah 49:2
He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.
When God is sending us out into the world, one of many distractions and temptations, He'll always prepare us for it... spiritually, mentally, physically. For me, I find peace in this especially in terms of evangelism or even simply talking about my faith to others. I get so nervous and scared that I won't have the biblical knowledge to properly address the Gospel to them... but God is faithful and provides. He will freely give an outpouring of the Spirit to guide and help us to reach out.
Isaiah 49:13
Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
God strengthens us and builds us up through the tough and afflicting times but He still shows compassion for us enduring the pain and suffering. Like a father He will care and nurture us so that we can get through those times in one piece.
The reminder: Receive the Lord's blessings as you continue to live in His mission.
