Isaiah 34:16a Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate….
Lord, Thank You for the hope that can be found so abundantly in Your word, for the invitation to return to You that is woven throughout.
Isaiah 34:16b …For it is his mouth that has given the order, and his Spirit will gather them together.
Thank You that You are not a “gotcha God” as in “you screwed up; now I gotcha and I’m going to punish you.” Thank You that You know our fleshly humanity and You love us fiercely regardless.
Isaiah 34:17a He allots their portions; his hand distributes them by measure….
Lord, I do not want to be infected with a spirit of fear. I don’t want to worry that You’ll smite me at the least provocation. I know that I am fleshly and human and flawed. I also know that You love me fiercely, exactly as You created me. You claim me abundantly as Your beloved child, and I am so incredibly thankful. Help me to love myself and others as You love me. Draw me closer. Amen.
Isaiah 34:17b …They will possess it forever and dwell there from generation to generation.
Have a blessed day.
