What do you do with the hurt? It truly is important to be intentional about getting past the hurts of our lives, because when we harbor them, they become destructive forces in our lives, they rob us of joy, and they allow bitterness to take root in our hearts. Let me close with one of my favorite passages from Isaiah 58:6-9. Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I (Isaiah 58:6-9). Here Isaiah tells us what to do with hurt feelings. He redefines how to respond when you've been hurt, when you need healing from the past. You may have some very deep hurt that just doesn't go away quickly at all; I understand that. But look at what Isaiah tells us. If we pursue this kind of fasting: To help those who are wrongly treated To reach those who are in the bondage of some addiction To share food with hungry people and shelter with the homeless To pay particular attention to those of your own flesh and blood who need help Then, Isaiah says, your light will break forth and your healing will quickly appear. Letting go of your own hurt and choosing to help others who are hurting is the quickest and best way to find the healing you need, whether it's a brief hurt you've gone through or one that has caused great trauma for a long time. This is God's cure for hurt feelings, for the emotional pain you may have endured or still are enduring. Claim it for yourself, so your light will break forth and your healing will quickly appear.

“I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, here am I…” (Isaiah 65)

Air Date: 10 12 21  Tuesday The first thing Isaiah teaches us is that God is the Hearer and Answerer of prayer. "Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;/ you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I" (Isaiah 58:9). "Before they call I will answer;/ while they are still speaking I will hear" (65:24).   These verses assure us that our God is no isolated despot, indifferent to the needs and conditions of His creatures, but a loving Father, sensitive to every want and sorrow of His suffering children. How beautiful these promises of prayer! First He says He will answer. Then not only will He answer, but He will come. "He will say, Here I am." Next, "Before they call I will answer," He tells us. And "while they are still speaking, I will hear." Not only will He wait and listen to our appeal, but He will anticipate our need and put the prayer Himself upon our hearts or send the blessing before we ask it. How beautifully this is illustrated in the Savior's thoughtful love toward Simon Peter. Fretting about their taxes which Peter had not the means to pay, we are told that the Lord "prevented him" (Matthew 17:25) and sent him down to the sea to find a fish with a golden coin in its mouth and then bring and pay the claim for Him and them. He did not wait for Peter to ask for it. He did not allow him to be embarrassed, but His loving forethought anticipated the need. So He is ever loving and caring for us, and as the Psalmist expresses it, "you welcomed him with rich blessings" (21:3a).     Listen to Abiding in Christ Ministries with radio host Lesha Cantrell Monday through Friday at 6:45am (MT) on AM670, KLTT in Colorado; online at 670kltt.com; or via your mobile device on the free KLTT app. May God richly bless you as you abide in Christ

EZEKIEL 23:In yesterday’s reading, we heard the Lord promise that he would refine Israel as purifying silver in a crucible. And then we heard the famous and poignant words: Ez. 23:30 GNT I looked for someone who could build a wall, who could stand in the places where the walls have crumbled and defend the land when my anger is about to destroy it, but I could find no one. //NLT “I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn’t have to destroy the land, but I found no one. ISAIAH 7:Yesterday we heard the story of Isaiah’s vision of the glory of the Lord in the temple. Isaiah’s lips were purified with a coal from the altar. Then after hearing the Lord’s call, he said the famous words, “Here I am. Send me!” And the Lord revealed that his messages would not be received. Rereading HEBREWS 3:Yesterday we heard the quote from Ps. 95 that forms the basis for this section. It is because I want the quoted content of this chapter firmly in our minds that I scheduled this chapter to be read twice. The failure of the Israelites was their refusal to believe in the Lord and what He told them. Believing is a volitional act. GNT Translation notes:Is. 7:3 The Lord said to [me//Isaiah], “Take your son Shear Jashub, and go to meet King Ahaz. You will find him on the road where the cloth makers work, at the end of the ditch that brings water from the upper pool.13 To that [I//Isaiah] replied, “Listen, now, descendants of King David. It's bad enough for you to wear out the patience of people—do you have to wear out God's patience too?==== Heb. 3:1 My [dear fellow believers//Christian friends], who also have been called by God! Think of Jesus, whom God sent [as his representative, and whom we profess as our High Priest// to be the High Priest of the faith we profess].7 So then, as the Holy Spirit says, “[When//If] you hear [the Lord’s//God's] voice today, 8 do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were when they rebelled against [me//God], as they were that day in the desert when they put [me//him] to the test.|19 We see, then, that they were not able to enter the land, because they [refused to//did not] believe.
