"Take up a harp, walk through the city, O prostitute forgotten; play the harp well, sing many a song, so that you will be remembered."
Isaiah 23: 16
In this verse, Isaiah is speaking of Tyre, a city that turned from the Lord and was considered a prostitute and lived without God for 70 years. This verse is calling them to turn back to God that they may be remembered.
Could it be that Buffalo too, turned from God and had to live a time without Him, but now our Merciful Lord is raising up a people to sing to Him once more that she may not be forgotten? I cannot help but believe that the 2 major events that called people to God this past year will have a major impact on our region. I pray for all the people that came to Rock the Lakes and Good Friday Together, and all other believers. Pray with me that they would all hear a deeper call to live the life of a follower of Christ and make a difference in the world around them. If this was to happen, the Body of Christ could make a difference in our region. We could rise up in love and take back that which has been taken from us. We could be a region set apart for God, living under His covering, seeking His face and walking in His ways. We then, would be a light for the nation and the world to see.
I encourage you to live a life that brings glory to God. Sing your songs and play your instruments that our region would be remembered.
