Renew their strength Let the peoples renew their strength. — Isaiah 4 1 : 1 All things on earth need to be renewed. No created thing continues by itself. “You renew the face of the ground,” was the psalmist’s utterance. Even the trees, which wear not themselves with care, nor shorten their lives with labor,…
Called of God “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:8 God did not address the call to Isaiah; Isaiah overheard God saying, “Who will go for us?” The call of God is not for the special few, it is for everyone. Whether…
