Let us consider the nation of Israel, I have just been reading Isaiah 26 v 16 -19,it stresses a number of things, Israel's history of failures Leupold writes the following, 'In her entire history up to this time, the nation, the people of Israel, produced nothing that was of general and substantial benefit to the nations of the world. She had a high destiny in this respect. The results achieved were negligible, no inhabitants came to birth through them ,they produced nothing tangible. All is gloom and despair.' Leupold further writes ,'The backward look was not too reassuring'. But v 19 brings a message of hope, God speaks of a future were new life would come to them, their deadness will turn to life, he writes of the dead being resurrected, the future looked bright. I would like to apply this to you if you are not a Christian, your past may has been a failure, doom and gloom, it does not give any hope, God is the God who makes all things new, all can be changed, He can bring you into a future of hope, and purpose if you trust Jesus as your Saviour. If you are a Christian ,remember you have destiny in Jesus, you can be used by God, and be a blessing to others, trust Him, remember God loves you, and God can use you.
