This is Namma for Christ with the three hundred second inspirational message dated Thursday, April 9th, 2026. The title of this message is “Worthy of It All – Isa. 55:6-9 – TEARS AND HOPE”.

The first four words of this message’s title are also the words of the title of the below anointed song/video, “Worthy of It All” (with lyrics)” as performed by “CeCe Winans”.

The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the sixth through the ninth verses of the fifty-fifth chapter of Isaiah.

Isaiah 55:6-9

New King James Version - (NKJV)

⁶ Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.

⁸ “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
⁹ “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways.

Isaiah 55:9 (NIV)

 

 

Today's Scripture & Insight:

Isaiah 55:6-13

 

 TEARS AND HOPE

 

 Although it was Palm Sunday, a day to celebrate the triumphal entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem, for Mary Edwar it became a time of deep pain. Leaving their church after the service, she and her husband, Kareem, were holding hands when a bomb went off. The device killed Kareem and injured Mary, causing her to miscarry.

      While Mary, recuperated, she felt furious while grieving for her husband and child. But somehow reading the Bible calmed “the volcano inside her”. In particular, when she struggled to comprehend why God allowed the atrocity, Isaiah 55:9 helped: “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways”. As she understood that God extends grace even when He’s dishonored, she felt soothed by His Spirit.

Mary considered Isaiah’s message from God to His wayward people. While calling them back to Himself, God sought to expand their understanding of His merciful character. Even as the heavens are “higher than” the earth, so were God’s ways “higher than” theirs (Isaiah 55:9). So too will God show love and grace, more than they could imagine.

While grieving deeply, Mary was stunned to receive God’s gift of peace. She welcomed Jesus’ consoling love, which He poured out in the events that we mark during Holy Week. He’s eager to give us His peace too; we need only to look to Him.

Creator God, You cherish me. Even when I’m wracked with pain and doubt, You provide hope and love.

Additional comments from “Namma” (Author of “Namma for Christ”):

       Upon reading the above “Our Daily Bread” message on 3/29/26 – God ministered to me. Earlier in the month, on March 11^th, 2026 – I learned of the March 10^th, 2026 passing of a dear childhood friend, named “Felton”. I am comforted knowing that Felton knew Jesus as his Lord and Savior and that he is in Heaven for all eternity. May my friend continue to rest in Heavenly peace with Jesus.

       May, “we”, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ continue to fulfil the Lord’s plans and purposes He has for us.
