Isa 54:7

Yesterday while I was at home doing the dishes, God spoke to me.
“Read The Bible today, I’ve got something in there for you.”

I put it off, went outside and picked a few quarts of cherries from the tree in the back yard. Looked around online. Made some lunch.

Later I took a shower after being outside. While I’m stepping out, I hear “Isaiah 54:7”
I was a bit joyful and said “Thanks, God!”

So I looked it up right away in my NIV Study Bible and it says:
“For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back.”

It’s been a bit of a rough week at times. And this one line really hit me.

Wow.. I can remember no history of the whole hearing a verse from God thing.
