I looked, but there was no one to help, I was appalled that no one gave support; so my own arm worked salvation for me, and my own wrath sustained me. I trampled the nations in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground."
In reading this passage, I was trying to understand if it were Isaiah or the LORD speaking. The message I'm receiving his how lonely it is to pursue God's righteousness. To break away from the patterns of the world and choose to stand alone seems to be lonely. But God promises to never allow this to happen, even though we do it to God Himself.
I admit to feeling lonely sometimes. And that continues on until I start talking with our Creator. I'm trying to grasp how God feels when the very things He's made goes off and seeks companionship elsewhere instead of Himself. How excruciating that must me! I'm not a daddy but I can only imagine this heartbreak. And so what do I do about it? Spend time in fellowship with Him! Yesterday, our small group agreed to pray every night at 9pm for the next week. God placed it on our hearts to pray together even though we're not physically together. Intentionally setting time aside to sit with God is an amazing gift that's barely opened. I need to discipline myself and lead others into it as well. Last night during the prayer time, Michelle came home and I think she saw me praying. That led to sharing time, worship time and this morning she shared the loss of Tracy's daughter and more prayer time. It's been a very spiritual 12 hours and I feel a strength and encouragement from God. I need to continue this path.
Father God, thank You for creating us for relationships. I pray LORD for Tracy's family right now in Your Son's mighty name. Help the family bond together to You first then to each other. I humbly ask that a leader emerges from the family to spiritual healing and repentance. Our lives are just a breath and will be swept away very soon. Help us to see the urgency. We love You Father, Son & Holy Spirit. In the matchless name of Jesus, Amen!
