Isaiah 18-25

 

“In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction. In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.” Isaiah 19:18-21

 

Lord, I do not pretend to  know everything about Thy word and particularly the writing’s of Thy prophets. I do not know to the full extent of the meaning behind the burden of Egypt but these verses seem to say that there will be a time when the gentile people of this nation, the nation You have used throughout Thy word as a picture of the world, shall turn unto Thee and shall know Thee as their God. Lord, thank you for seeing fit to make a gentile dog like me one of Thy children. I am unfit beyond measure to stand in Thy presence, but one day I shall see Thee face to face and call Thee my King. Lord, help me to live like I ought and to forsake this sin of unfaithfulness to Thy word. Help me to love Thee and to crave the words of Thy mouth every moment of the day, that I may do that which is pleasing in Thy eyes.
