Episode 292: Isaiah 14

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Isaiah 14

Father, you have showered me with your mercy and compassion. You have chosen me to join your family. 

You give me rest from my sorrow and fear. I am no longer bound. No longer a slave to sin. The enemy has been defeated. You crushed his power and broke the evil rule of the god of this world. 

You give me peaceful rest and quiet. Now I can sing again and break into shouts of joy. Even the trees of the forest clap their hands and sing a joyous song. 

The might and the power of the wicked are buried with them. Maggots are their sheets and worms their blankets. 

Satan fell from heaven. He was a shining star, the light-bringer, son of the dawn. But because of his pride, he was cast down to the earth where he weakened the nations of the world. He said he would ascend to heaven and set his throne above your stars. He said he would preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. He said he would climb to the highest heavens and make himself like you, Father, the Most High God. 

But he will be brought down to the firey pit, to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths. We will stare at him and ask, "Is this the one who made the earth tremble and shook the kingdoms of the world? Is this the one who destroyed the beauty of the world God created and made it into a wasteland? Is this the god of the world who overthrew cities and had no mercy on his prisoners?"

You will throw the enemy out like a worthless branch, like a corpse trampled underfoot. He will be dumped into a mass grave with those who chose to follow evil instead of good. He will descend to the pit. 

He won't be given a proper burial, because he tried to destroy your people, and succeeded in deceiving many and leading them astray. Those who follow him, are his children. They will die because of their father's sins, and they will never be named.

Father, you yourself, the God of Angel armies rose against him. You defeated him, and will destroy him and his children. You will sweep the land with the broom of destruction until all the evil has been swept away.

It will all happen as you have planned. It will be as you have decided.

I am no longer a slave. I am no longer bowed down under the heavy load of sin and shame. You have a plan for the whole earth, a hand of righteous judgment. No one can change your plans. No one can stop you. 

But you feed me in your pasture. I lie down in peace and rest. In your Kingdom I have refuge. My oppression is over. 

So be it. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
