Isaiah 57 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 57.

Meditate on verse 21.

“There is no peace,” says my God,  “for the wicked.”

There are precious promises and dire warnings in Isaiah 57. God said in the first two verses that the righteous man is taken away from evil and enters into peace. The high and exalted One who lives forever, whose name is Holy, also said, “I dwell on a high and holy place, and also with the contrite and lowly of spirit in order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite” (v. 15).

It is amazing to think the God of the universe resides with you when you are humble and sorrowful about your sin. He stays with you to revive you, so you can live for and with Him forever.

But with those who continue in the pride of their sin, God is angry and hides His face from them. The LORD says they will have no peace (Isaiah 57:21).

Pray Isaiah 57:14-15 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“High and exalted One, who lives forever, whose name is Holy,

 please build up and prepare the way for ________ and me.

As Your people, remove every obstacle out of our way.

Give us a contrite and lowly spirit,

so we will dwell with You on a high and holy place.

Revive our hearts.

In Your name, Jesus~”
