Isaiah 52:13 -- The Lord's servant will succeed!

This is an interesting title for this verse because in my bible verses 13-15 are titled the Suffering Servant.  This is a clear indication that success doesn't equal no pain.  We know this from sports yet we'd like to think this is not true in our spiritual life too.  I was watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q06YIWCR2Js this weekend and realized that God has made us with the ability to receive information, emotions, feelings, and the ability to think and some of these emotions are sadness, and anger, love and awe.  Tuning into God helps us to center ourselves given all of the input that we receiving....and the truth is, Jesus believed he would succeed in His mission even when things weren't pleasant because He was doing what His Father told Him to do.
