Isaiah 66 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 66.

Meditate on verses 1-2.

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 concluded 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 force you to 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 stand 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, You will look to _________ and me

when we are humble, contrite of spirit,

and tremble at Your Word.

Make us that way.

Because of Your name, Jesus~”
