There has been some discussion of bulls on this site in recent days. We are thinking of what bulls we want to use. When they are turned out it will set in motion a course of action that will have a very predictable result. If that cow or heifer gets pregnant, there will be a delivery. You can't have a pregnancy without a delivery. The Lord makes that observation in Isaiah 66:9. He is really telling us that just as pregnancy causes delivery, so a promise from God will bring about a certain and predictable delivery on that promise. I am sure that we have all waited on that last heifer until we have jokingly made the comment that "she must have changed her mind, and is not going to have a calf." We might wonder if God has changed His mind about returning to earth. The answer is in that pregnant heifer. Just as surely as she will deliver, He will deliver. We do not know the exact time or date, but we may be sure that there will be a delivery. He has promised feed, satisfaction, rest and delight to those who have chosen to accept and trust Him. He has promised Hell's fire and brimstone to those who choose to reject Him (Isaiah 66:15-16). That is right - they choose their end, just as the believer chooses theirs. Isaiah 66 tells us of the coming of a great and glorious King. Are you ready? Will you be like that calf, running delightedly about with tail high, or one of those in the dead pile with maggots crawling over it (Isaiah 66:24)? Not a very pretty picture is it? Very real, though. The choice is yours, and "later" or "not right now" is a choice. I have been awfully blunt and to the point this mornin'. I am not trying to be offensive, just realistic. Remember, our day of reckoning may not be at our convenience any more than a heifer's delivery will be. Today would be a good day to settle the matter. By the way, I hope you have yourselves a good Sunday Mornin' and a good rest of the week!
