Episode 289: Isaiah 10

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Isaiah 10.

What sorrow awaits the unjust judges and those who issue unfair laws. Father, you have no patience for those who deprive the poor of justice and deny the rights of the needy among your people. On the day of your judgement, they won't have anyplace to turn for help. Their treasures will not be safe.

Father, you are able to use even the wicked to accomplish your plans. You will punish the proud and arrogant. 

I am not so deceived to think that I have done anything by my own powerful arm, or succeeded with plans by my own shrewd wisdom. 

The ax cannot boast greater power than the person who uses it. And the saw isn't greater than the person who saws. A rod cannot strike unless a hand moves it. And a wooden cane cannot walk by itself. 

You are a flaming fire that consumes all earthly glory. Holy God, you are a flame. You will devour the thorns and briers with fire, and destroy your enemy in a single night. 

You will consume the glory of the wicked like a fire consumes a forest in a fruitful land. Of all that glorious forest, only a few trees will survive—so few that a child could count them!

You will cut down the proud and the lofty. They will fall to you, O Mighty God.

But I faithfully trust you Lord. You have called me and I have returned to you. You will gather your remnant together. You are the Lord of Heaven's Armies. 

I will not be afraid when I am oppressed with rod and club. Your anger will arise to destroy your enemies. You have ended my bondage. You broke the yoke of slavery and lifted it from my shoulders. 

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
