2016, THE YEAR OF THE REDEMPTION

                 "...Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths..."    

                                              (Isaiah 40.3)                                                                                                                      

            Long was the captivity. The people mourn. And God treated to send his prophet to proclaim: "Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight" (3).

            The words emerged within the chaos. But the true prophets speak, even against the hope, the only hope that exists. God changes things. Makes cease all sorrows and annihilates all slavery. Because the Lord is the glory of his people!

            The prognoses of "misunderstanding" announce days even more somber for Brazil and for the world.

            Improvements are not expected, despite the demagogy of "Princes" and "noble" in afford.

            The disappointments, the fear, hunger, the classical and the oppressions do not cease; terror and death weigh on the Brazilian and the inhabitants of the land.

            But there is a God, Sovereign. And he said to his people through his messengers: "Comfort, comfort my people ... Speaker tender too lhe Hart off Jerusalém" (v.2).

            The message is tenderness, acute sensitivity - as a father would talk to your infant scared in the wee hours of the night.

            - "say to my people that their iniquity was covered, and he has already received the deserved by his wickedness" (v.2).

            "Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths." (v.3)

            There is a new path for my people. A path of justice, compassion, changes and renewal, by my spirit.

            "What is distorted will be straightened, the mountains will be planed and the rough ways shall be undone." (v. 4)

            I will bless my people. I will give the provision and the blessing of my spirit. I will put against this chaos, against the storms - I will save them from oppression.

           I will protect my people with my blessing. My people will always be saved, spared, protected and blessed by me.

           "As an eagle her brood and flaps on their nestlings, extends the wings and take them takes over them, so the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, eat the messes of field, suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock..." (Deuteronomy 32.11-13).

           Let us go forward. The LORD redeemed his people.

           Happy 2016, with the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ!

           God bless you.
