Isaiah 66:1-2, “Thus says the LORD: Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is my resting place? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things are mine, says the LORD. But this is the one to whom I will look, to the humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at my word.”
Triumph in the end, in the Year of the Lord comes to the humble to the contrite in spirit and to those who tremble at the very Word of God. We are quick to take authorship of the successes that we touch and less quick to accept responsibility for those things where our efforts have fallen short. There’s an adage in business that states, ‘success has a thousand authors – failure has one.’ In all things God gets the praise for one simple fact. With nothing and from nothing God created everything. What is it that we take credit for? Will we take responsibility for our manifold sins as well? Humility, contrite spirit and trembling at the very thought of God – where are we?
Prayer: Father thank You for this day. Thank you for continuing to seek us through Jesus, Your Son. Drive from us the desire to be ‘number one’ and ‘legends in our own minds.’ Heal us and strengthen us for Your service. In Jesus’ Name we pray. AMEN
