Isaiah 50 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Isaiah 50.

Meditate on verse 10.

Who is among you that fears the LORD,

That obeys the voice of His servant,

That walks in darkness and has no light?

Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.

Isaiah 50 contains prophecy about the coming of Messiah in verses 4-9.   Without Christ, we are sold into slavery to sin.  No man can do anything about it, but God’s hand is not too short that He cannot ransom, and He has the power to deliver (Isaiah 50:1-2).  Christ set His face like flint to do whatever it would take to save you (Isaiah 50:6-7).  It would take His life and the horrific abuse that preceded His death.  The only appropriate response to that sacrifice is to fear the LORD, to obey the voice of Jesus, to trust in the name of the LORD, and rely on God (Isaiah 50:10).

As you and those you are praying for grow to be more like Jesus, ask God to make you to be like Him as Isaiah 50:4-5 describes.

“Lord God, give me the tongue of disciples

that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. 

Awaken me morning by morning. 

Awaken my ear to listen as  a disciple. 

Open my ear and do not let me be disobedient or turn back.

In Your Name, Jesus~”
