Isaiah 35:3 Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way….
Lord, Thank You for the reminder that because I am Your deeply loved child, I have the ability to claim the “Joy of the Redeemed” every moment of every day. Forgive me for the many, many, many times I choose to dwell in my misery instead of focusing on the joy of Your salvation.
Isaiah 35:4 …say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come…he will come to save you.”
Lord, Help me to live this day knowing that I am Yours, living into that truth. When I feel inadequate to the task, steady my knees. When my heart is fearful, remind me to be strong. And then help me to use Your strength to strengthen and encourage others.
Isaiah 35:5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
Lord, in a world where sorrow is a sometimes daily reality, thank You for Your abundant joy. Thank You for Your restoration and renewal. Help me to lay my burdens at Your feet and rest in Your love and peace. Help me to shine Your Light for others. Amen.
Isaiah 35:6 Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
Have a blessed day.
