Isaiah 53:3-5 NIV
Gardenias Garden Podcast “I Am Not Built for the Pit” Isaiah 53 is a reminder that we have hope. The pit is not your destiny.
This podcast episode was first published in 2021. It is still relevant, right now. Today, this is a reminder of your rightful position. You have a calling in this life to live abundantly. Do not fret. Get up and rise.
This is a story about the love of a farmer for his pet. What a tragedy to lose what you love to the darkness of a pit. There is one who loves you more than the farmer in this story and He does not want to lose you. Per Isaiah 53, Jesus was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed—and we were healed! (Isaiah 53:5)
Will you live beyond the pit? As that wise goat did, use the opportunities, to change your position and live.
Fate of Your Enemy
Consequently, the one who works overtime to create your demise, will lose. As a deceiver, the evil one will go into the bottomless pit (Revelation 30:1-3).
A punishment to last forever. In the end, destruction is for the evil one. It is for the one who seeks to deceive. A lake of fire is his reward. There is a future of torment that awaits him (Revelation 20:10).
A Greater Reward
Your future is greater. Yes, 3 John 1:2, are the thoughts towards you – to prosper and be in health. Even the more, for those who have Christ, you will receive a far better reward (Revelation 21:1-3).
You are not built for the pit. You are made to rise up and live in Him. Do you believe that?
Even though, in our story, the farmer and the goat may recall the pit experience, the pit was not their destiny in life.
