Today's Verse: Isaiah 57:15

Sunday, July 28, 2013

For this is what the high and lofty One says — he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.
— Isaiah 57:15

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Jesus' coming to earth is wholly and holy consistent with the Lord God who reveals himself in the Old Testament. God is high and holy. God is righteous and majestic. Yet the Lord God is the God of incarnation — the Lord who sees our needs, hears our cries, and comes down to help us. God loves people, especially people who come to him knowing that they need his love and grace. To those who seek him with passion, humility, awe, and reverence, God brings revival that touches the spirit and heart.

My Prayer...

Holy and Righteous Father, thank you for loving me and coming to save me in Jesus. Father, I do come humbly to you asking that you fill me with your Spirit in a more powerful way and revive my heart and stir my spirit to work for your glory in my life today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
