Isaiah 25:6-8 (NIV)
6 On this mountain, the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines. 7 On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; 8 he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken.

Savior, Jesus I praise and worship You for conquering sin and death. I thank You that I do not need to be worried or anxious about death or anything else because of You, my future is totally secure.

I trust You with my future and turn my thoughts toward you for Your constant and perfect peace. In Your Holy name. Amen
