Driven Like a Peg...Nailed

So many portraits of Christ throughout Isaiah.  Now I remember why it's one of my favorite books.

Here's a lesser known one...a good reminder to me...to us all.

"I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your sash on him, and will commit your authority to his hand.  And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.  And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David.  He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.  And I will fasten [drive] him like a peg in a secure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father's house.  And they will hang on him the whole honor of his father's house...."  Isaiah 22:21-24 ESV

Have you read the book Heaven is for Real?  It's the account of almost 4-yr-old Colton Burpo's time in heaven when he died on the operating table.  Absolutely precious!  I love hearing him tell about heaven!  As we read all of the descriptions of heaven and end times prophesies in Isaiah, I keep thinking of those child-like descriptions of the glories of heaven and the final battle.

Thank you, Jesus, for loving the children SO MUCH.  And thank you for being driven...nailed...into a secure place for me.
