CONDITIONS AND OFFER PERIODS

That “terms and conditions apply,” for those who want to “be in to win a Summer Getaway!” it says in a Health Store magazine.

At the end of mailers of shops you usually read, “Offers available instore from Tusday 7th November to Thursday 30th November 2017.” I am reading that just now  on the back page of a Farmers Toy Sale mailer.

I am also reading the Bible and I like the promise in the Old Testament in Isaiah 48:18,19, which begins like this:

“‘IF ONLY YOU HAD PAID ATTENTION TO MY COMMANDS, YOUR PEACE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE A RIVER …”

In Isaiah 48:18,19 we read about our peace, our righteousness, our descendants, our children and the name of our children.

  1. “‘Your peace would have been like a river.'”
  2. “‘Your righteousness like the waves of the sea.'”
  3. ‘”Your descendants would have been like the sand.'”
  4. “‘Your children like its numberless grains.'”
  5. “‘Their name would have never be cut off nor destroyed from before me.'”

    “‘Your righteousness like the waves of the sea.'”

But right at the beginning it says, “‘If only you had paid attention to my commands, …”

Let us never forget, that there is a condition. The condition is OBEDIENCE! But let us also always thank the Lord, that the promise is available not only for a certain time, but forever. Read also Matthew 24:35.
