Radically Happy

“Who is this coming from Bozrah in Edom with clothes stained red? Who is this hero marching in his glorious uniform? “It’s me, the Lord! I have won the battle, and I can save you!”
What are those red spots? Your clothes look stained from trampling on grapes. “I alone trampled the grapes! None of the nations helped. I trampled nations in my anger and stained my clothes with their blood.
I did this because I wanted to take revenge— the time had come to rescue my people. No one was there to help me or to give support; my mighty arm won the battle, strengthened by my anger. In my fury I trampled on nations and made them drunk; their blood poured out everywhere on earth.”
I will tell about the kind deeds the Lord has done. They deserve praise! The Lord has shown mercy to the people of Israel; he has been kind and good. The Lord rescued his people, and said, “They are mine. They won’t betray me.”
It troubled the Lord to see them in trouble, and his angel saved them. The Lord was truly merciful, so he rescued his people. He took them in his arms and carried them all those years.
Then the Lord’s people turned against him and made his Holy Spirit sad. So he became their enemy and attacked them.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭63‬:‭1‬-‭10‬ ‭CEV‬‬
