O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Isaiah 2

O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord. Isaiah 2:5

I continue my deep dive of Isaiah, based on the Precept Upon Precept study series.  On day 4 of my study, the key takeaway comes from Isaiah 2:5, highlighted also in this post from John Piper.  Isaiah 2 is filled with prophecies of how God will bring low the haughty and proud, those who spurn or forsake God. I have seen in my own life how such a spurn leads to ruin and I don't seek this for myself or anyone.  Such ruin is not only in this life but also for eternity as spurning God leads to eternal damnation.  Instead I seek to "walk in the light of the Lord" all the days of my life.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an incredible God who loves me and who is a light unto my path - thank You Jesus for being my light in a world full of darkness.  I am not deserving of how You bless me.  My sin of worry and other sins continues.  Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength.  Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo.  Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
