Isaiah 16 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 16.

Meditate on verse 5.

A throne will even be established in lovingkindness,

and a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David;

 moreover, he will seek justice and be prompt in righteousness.

The burden God had for Moab continues in Isaiah 16. God was burdened for Moab because of the people’s pride, arrogance, and fury. God described Moab’s pride as excessive and his idle boasts as false (v. 6). Yet again, you see God weeping bitterly for Moab (v. 9). God hates sin, and it breaks His heart when He sees people wearying themselves in it (vs. 11-12).

In the middle of God’s oracle concerning Moab, He prophesied the coming of Messiah. The throne of Christ is established in lovingkindness, faithfulness, justice, and righteousness; exactly what you need to counter pride, arrogance, fury, and idle boasts.

Pray Isaiah 16:4 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, make extortioners, oppressors, and destruction

cease from the lives of _________ and me. 

Be a hiding place to us from the destroyer. 

In Your name, Jesus~”
