Is 41:13-20 I am the LORD, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, “Fear not, I will help you.” Fear not, O worm Jacob, O maggot Israel; I will help you, says the LORD; your redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. I will make of you a threshing sledge, sharp, new, and double-edged, To thresh the mountains and crush them, to make the hills like chaff When you winnow them, the wind shall carry them off and the storm shall scatter them.

The afflicted and the needy seek water in vain, their tongues are parched with thirst I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open up rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the broad valleys; I will turn the desert into a marshland, and the dry ground into springs of water I will plant in the desert the cedar, acacia, myrtle, and olive; I will set in the wasteland the cypress, That all may see and know, observe and understand, That the hand of the LORD has done this, the Holy One of Israel has created it.

Gen 3.9-15, 20 When Adam had eaten of the tree the LORD God called to the man and asked him, “Where are you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself.” Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? You have eaten, then from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!” The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with meC she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it.” The LORD God then asked the woman,“Why did you do such a thing?” The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.” Then the LORD God said to the serpent:“Because you have done this, you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; on your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers he will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel.” The man called his wife Eve because she became the mother of all the living"

The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her,“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you shall name him Jesus He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.” But Mary said to the angel,“How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply,“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

So then, the people is the grass. Though the grass withers and the flower wilts the word of our God stands forever.” Go up onto a high mountain, Zion, herald of glad tidings; Cry out at the top of your voice Jerusalem, herald of good news! Fear not to cry out and say to the cities of Judah: Here is your God Here comes with power the Lord GOD, who rules by his strong arm; Here is his reward with him, his recompense before him.

12/6/10 GOD KNOWS WHEN THINGS R GETTING 2 TOUGH
12/6/10 cblog GOD KNOWS WHEN THINGS R GETTING TOO TOUGH st. Augustine, culver m: "Isaiah speaks to the lord..paralyzed man..found a way to get him to Jesus..sometimes life is good..everything turns out right..other times insurmountable obstacles..God knows..keep walking..let god lead us.."
Is 35:1-10 The desert and the parched land will exult; the steppe will rejoice and bloom. They will bloom with abundant flowers, and rejoice with joyful song. The glory of Lebanon will be given to them, the splendor of our God. Strengthen the hands that are feeble, make firm the knees that are weak, Say to those whose hearts are frightened Be strong, fear not Here is your God, he comes with vindication With divine recompense he comes to save you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; Then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing Streams will burst forth in the desert, and rivers in the steppe. The burning sands will become pools, and the thirsty ground, springs of water The abode where jackals lurk will be a marsh for the reed and papayrus. A highway will be there, called the holy way; No one unclean may pass over it, nor fools go astray on it. No lion will be there, nor beast of prey go up to be met upon it. It is for those with a journey to make, and on it the redeemed will walk. Those whom the LORD has ransomed will return and enter Zion singing, crowned with everlasting joy; They will meet with joy and gladness sorrow and mourning will flee"
R. Our God will come to save us!
"Luke 5.17-26 "One day as Jesus was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem were sitting there, and the power of the Lord was with him for healing And some men brought on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed; they were trying to bring him in and set him in his presence. But not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the stretcher through the tiles into the middle in front of Jesus When Jesus saw their faith, he said“As for you, your sins are forgiven.” Then the scribes and Pharisees began to ask themselves,“Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?” Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them in reply,“What are you thinking in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”–
