Today’s Scripture: Like livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. So you led your people, to make for yourself a glorious name. Isaiah 63:14 ESV
The Spirit of the LORD always gives us rest when we return to Him. Like Isaiah in 63:17 I wonder why God made us to wander away from Him and fear other things over Him. Yet, ALWAYS when we exhaust all other searches for hope and rest He is faithful to save us and give us rest.
Exhausted and bloodied we often return to Him like His people here in Isaiah 63 and recognize His peace and His steadfast love. He never left us, we just wandered away.
I praise You LORD and recount Your steadfast love. I am reminded that You continue to lead me even in the depths of my wanderings. Lead me in Your Spirit to stay in Your love and rest. You, O LORD are my Father and my strength.
Has something caused you to wander? His Spirit awaits to give you rest.
Today’s Prayer: You, O LORD are my Father and I praise Your glorious name. You Spirit of love and rest always welcomes me. Although I do not understand my tendencies to wander, I do know Your Spirit of love, rest and peace. Thank You LORD for You love and for giving me rest in You. Lead me in all of Your ways. Amen.
