Isaiah 63 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Isaiah 63.

Meditate on verses 7 and 8. 

I shall make mention of the lovingkindnesses of the LORD,

 the praises of the LORD,

according to all that the LORD has granted us,

and the great goodness toward the house of Israel,

which He has granted them according to His compassion

and according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.

For He said, “Surely, they are My people,

sons who will not deal falsely.”

So He became their Savior.

There are two interesting time phrases in Isaiah 63:4:  the day of vengeance and God’s year of redemption.  I am thankful that the LORD’s anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime (Psalm 30:5).  Two thousand years ago your Savior was preparing for the greatest act of lovingkindness and compassion in history; dying for your sins so you could enter into His year of redemption and not have to face His day of vengeance.

As you meditate on your Savior today, thank Him that His own arm has brought salvation (Isaiah 63:5).  Thank Him for becoming your Savior (Isaiah 63:8).  Thank Him for putting His Holy Spirit in the midst of you (Isaiah 63:11).

Pray Isaiah 63:7-8.

“I will make mention of Your lovingkindess and praises, LORD,

according to all that You have granted us,

and Your great goodness which You have granted

according to Your compassion

and the abundance of Your lovingkindness.

Thank You that my family are Your people,

sons who will not deal falsely.

Thank You that You became our Savior.”
