salvation will surround you like city walls

Arise! Let your light shine for all to see.
For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you.
Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth,
but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.

All nations will come to your light;
mighty kings will come to see your radiance.

Look and see, for everyone is coming home!
Your sons are coming from distant lands;
Your little daughters will be carried home.

Your eyes will shine,
and your heart will thrill with joy,
for merchants from around the world will come to you.
They will bring you the wealth of many lands

Foreigners will come to rebuild your towns,
and their kings will help you.
For though I have destroyed you in my anger,
I will have mercy on you through my grace.

Your gates will stay open around the clock
to receive the wealth of many lands

Though you were once despised and hated,
with no one traveling through you,
I will make you beautiful forever,
a joy to all generations
Mighty nations will satisfy your every need
You will know at last that I,
the Lord, am your Savior and your Redeemer,
the Mighty One.

I will exchange your bronze for gold,
your iron for silver,
your wood for bronze,
your stones for iron.
I will make peace your leader
and righteousness your ruler.

Violence will disappear from your land;
the desolation and destruction will end.
Salvation will surround you like city walls,
and praise will be on the lips of all who enter there

For the Lord will be your everlasting light.
Your days of mourning will come to an end.
At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen."
Isaiah 60

Praying and praising that He might become the Redeemer for Haiti, that many would come to love Him mightily, that Haiti would become His light...Praying for lasting change that only He can do.

Thank you for all your prayers!

  5. Hallelujah! I am so encouraged by your report. It brings what we have heard/seen on the news into focus. God is at work delivering the people of Haiti! It's so good to see how He is bringing such beauty out of the ashes! As others have said, "May it be as you have said." Am standing with you and many others in prayer for you and the people of Haiti.
