April 22, 2021 – Isaiah 33:2-4

O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble. At the tumultuous noise peoples flee; when you lift yourself up, nations are scattered, and your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathers; as locusts leap, it is leapt upon. Isaiah 33:2-4.

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10.  How can we just enjoy the presence of God?  Be silent.  Praying to God is not just giving Him our ‘to-do’ list for the day.  

When we see an awesome flower, a majestic mountain, or  glorious sunrise, we are filled with the wonder of God’s Creation. Those who try to describe with words, often feel no words can describe the scene God has given them. And we wait for more, and surrender to His Will.

It is when we live for righteousness and the abundance of His salvation and wisdom, do we know Him. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. Proverbs 9:10.

O, Lord, my God, may I ever fear and respect Your Greatness.  Fill me with your righteousness and wisdom to know right from wrong and follow after You all the days of my life, that I may dwell with you eternally.  I pray in Jesus, Your Son’s Name, Amen.

He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. Psalm 25:9-10.

The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high; He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness, and He will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.  Isaiah 33:5-6.
