Isaiah 58-61
“If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 58:13-14
Lord, again, I know that this passage is dealing with Thy people Israel, but I know that there is a principle here that is applicable to my own life. Lord, I pray that You would help me not to do my own ways but that I would follow closely after Thee. My desires are continually on my own pleasure and to seek my own paths. Lord, I know that I, in no way, have the ability to do that which is right save by Thy doing in my life. Help me to love You and to honor You.
“And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.” Isaiah 60:3-5
Lord, thank you that Your plan has always been for the world to know Thy name. Thank you that I stand redeemed and forgiven of all iniquity. Help me to love Thee as I ought for such a wonderful gift as Thy Son, Jesus Christ.
