Today, the Prophet Isaiah (Is 40:25-31) cures specific “Confusion Headaches” that keep people from having their thinking be in line with God.
He begins by reminding us that we are not equal to Him by asking Today’s Question 1! “‘To whom can you liken me as an equal?’ says The Holy One… Lift up your eyes on high and see Who has created these things: He leads out their army and numbers the, calling them all by name.” We begin to cure our “Confusion Headaches” with the fact that God knows our “name”!
That knowledge is reinforced: “By His great might and the strength of His power not one of them is missing!” Then, God asks Question 2 that continues to cure “Confusion Headaches”: “Why, O Jacob, do you say and declare, O Israel, ‘My way is hidden from The Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God?”
Then, Question 3! “Do you not know, or have you not heard? The Lord is the eternal God, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint nor grow weary, and His knowledge is beyond scrutiny. He gives strength to the fainting; for the weak, He makes vigor abound.”
Then, God makes His cure for “Confusion Headaches” clear to all: “Though young men faint and grow weary, and youths stagger and fall, they that hope in The Lord will renew their strength, they will soar as with eagles’ wings; they will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.”
“Psalm 103, 1-4, 8, and 10 clarify God’s Cure for “Confusion Headaches”! “O, bless the Lord, my soul… and all my being bless His Holy Name… forget not all His benefits… He pardons all your iniquities, He heals all your ills… He redeems your life from destruction… He crowns you with kindness and compassion… Merciful and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger and abounding in kindness… Not according to our sins does He deal with us, nor does He requite us according to our crimes.”
Isaiah 40:10 tells us whose “Confusion Headaches” are cured: “Alleluia! Behold, The Lord comes to save His people; blessed are those prepared to meet him.”
Today, He Who Fulfilled over 300 Prophecies makes it clear in Mt 11:28-30 how He wants us to cure our “Confusion Headaches”! “Jesus said to the crowds: ‘Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
What is His “yoke” that cures “Confusion Headaches”? It is The Catholic Church Jesus Spoke Into Being with His Church-Creating Word to His First Catholic Pope!
“And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
Every Catholic’s “Confusion Headache” is cured by being blessed to have our “Confusion Headaches” cured by the Seven Catholic Sacraments that are among “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion, Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the Anointing of the Sick!
