Isaiah 5 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 5.

Meditate on verses 20-22.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil;

who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;

who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight!

  Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine

and valiant men in mixing strong drink,

 who justify the wicked for a bribe,

 and take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!

God gave the people of Judah everything they needed to be productive. He compared them to a vineyard that had been perfectly cared for; all it needed to do was produce good grapes. God’s people chose to produce worthless grapes despite God’s provision for their lives. God was mad and pronounced six “woes” on them in

Isaiah 5.

Examine your life. Are you producing good or worthless grapes for the sake of Christ? Is God pronouncing “woes” on you like He did the people 2,700 years ago?

God’s standards have not changed. The world around you may call evil “good,” and good “evil,” but take care that you do not. Be obedient to the Knowledge of God.

Pray Isaiah 5:2, 12, 13, and 16 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD of hosts, You will be exalted in judgment,

and You will show Yourself holy in righteousness.

Let ___________ and me pay attention to Your deeds

and consider the work of Your hands. 

We want Your knowledge, LORD!

You expect us to produce good grapes;

help us not to produce worthless ones.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
