Isaiah 66 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Isaiah 66.

Meditate on verses 1 and 2.

Thus says the LORD,

“Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool.

Where then is a house you could build for Me?

And where is a place that I may rest?

For My hand made all these things,

thus all these things came into being,”

declares the LORD.

“But to this one I will look,

to him who is humble and contrite in spirit,

and who trembles at My Word.”

God concludes Isaiah by offering you a choice.  Humbly choose God and see His glory, or choose your own way and experience His fiery judgment.  God will not force Himself on you.  Christ died and rose again, so you can live eternally with Him.  But He will not make you live with Him forever.  You must humbly come to the LORD broken because of your sin and revering His Word, then He will show you His favor and glory.

Examine your life.  God already knows your works and thoughts (Isaiah 66:18), so you can be honest with yourself and Him.  Will you endure before the LORD, or will He say, “You have transgressed against Me, so your worm will not die, and your fire will not be quenched, and you will be an abhorrence to all mankind (Isaiah 66:22, 24).”?

Pray Isaiah 66:2 over yourself and those for whom you are standing guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, Your hand has made all things,

thus all these things came into being.

God, thank You that You will look to my family

when we are humble, contrite of spirit, and trembling at Your Word.

May we always be that way before You.

In Your Name, Jesus~”
