Isaiah 61:10-11

This afternoon I was flipping through my Bible, looking for a verse. I didn’t have a particular verse in mind, all I knew was I wanted something to add to the bottom of the letter I was writing. It’s sort of a habit I’ve gotten into, writing Bible verses at the bottom of my letters in the PS section, as a way to encourage my pen pals.

Sometimes I write down a verse that I had read in the Bible earlier, or sometimes, like today, I page through it and scan until something catches my attention. I love it when they write back and say, “That verse you sent me was exactly what I needed!” Because it isn’t just coincidence, it’s a total God-Thing!!!

Anyways, today I found a cool verse in Isaiah. I also realized I’ve been rather absent in the blogosphere lately. And so I concluded that I would share this verse with you, too.

I love the first line – I will celebrate because of my Lord God! It makes me picture a celebration – a party – with confetti and raised hands waving in the air and lots of smiles, simply because of who God is. And considering its summer and there’s flowers all over the place, I like the part about praise coming like flowers blooming in a garden.

Have a Bible verse that you found cool or meaningful lately? I’d love to hear! ❤
