Episode 312: Isaiah 52

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Isaiah 52

I have awakened. I am beautifully clothed with strength. I have arisen from the dust, and you have seated me in a place of honor.

You have removed the chains of slavery from my neck. I raise my head in freedom, for you have redeemed me.

Long ago, I chose to live enslaved to sin. The enemy ruled me. But you revealed your name to me, and I came to know it's power. I recognize your voice. You are the one who speaks to me. 

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messengers who bring good news of victory, of peace and salvation, the news that you reign. I shout and laugh for joy, for before my very eyes, I behold your presence. I break into joyful song, for you have comforted me. You have redeemed me. You demonstrated your holy power for all the world to see. Every nation, every person, every place on earth will witness your victory, Father. 

I have left my captivity where everything I touched was unclean. You have taken me out of the darkness and purified me. I go in confidence and grace, because you are with me. You go ahead of me, paving the way with assurance and strength. And you watch my back, protecting me from behind. 

You have made me prosper. In you, I have grown in character and reputation. You have lifted me up to heavenly places in Christ Jesus. When he was crucified, with all of my sins upon him, with every sickness and disease known and unknown, those who saw him were amazed. His form--once glorious--was so disfigured, he seemed hardly human. From his appearance, they could scarely know that he was a man. 

And now, he startles the nations. Kings stand speechless in his presence. 

I see what I've never been told. And I understand what I have never heard. 

So be it. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
