Reading: Isaiah 46, 47, 48
My Verse: "Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way that you should go" (Isaiah 48:17).
As I read through this incredible book of Isaiah I am more and more amazed at Your love for us, LORD God. You, Who are the God of everything that exists, want so much for us, Your created ones, to have a good life, filled with love and accomplishment - that You continually plead with us to turn to You!
"Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called [ones]; I am He; I am the First, I also am the Last" (Isaiah 48:12).
"Your nakedness shall be exposed, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no man, says our Redeemer - the LORD of hosts is His name-the Holy One of Israel" (Isaiah 47:3,4).
"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts; I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no God" (Isaiah 44:6).
"For I the LORD your God hold your right hand; I am the LORD, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you!" (Isaiah 41:13).
"But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint" ( Isaiah 40:31).
Even research shows how those who attend church and follow Your precepts lead more successful and peaceful lives. As Your created beings You instilled in us needs that can only be fulfilled by following You and Your precepts. Anything contrary to You only leads to dysfunctional, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled lives.
You, LORD God have done so much for me. Not only have You plead for me to turn to you, but now Jesus continues to plead to You for me. This picture of our LORD Jesus should be a picture I forever and constantly carry in my mind.
"Who then will condemn us? No one - for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us" (Romans 8:34).
What an amazing thing, that Jesus after dying that most awful death for me now pleads continuously for me.
Your love and grace know no bounds, LORD God!
"Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool" (Isaiah 1:18).
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
