Light Day 14: Isaiah 58:9-14

Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Meditate on this passage today – the faithfulness and love of our God. This chapter is filled with covenant promises: if we walk in Him in one area, He will grant our lives a specific blessing.

For instance, as we pour our souls out for others as broken bread and poured out wine, wasted for their wellbeing, God’s light becomes an innate, strong, and bright part of our lives. Even our darkness is as noonday in the brilliance of His covenant love that shines from our innermost being as we walk in His covenant!

But that’s only the beginning. He’ll guide us continually; He’ll satisfy our souls; He’ll grant us physical health and vitality; He’ll make us fruitful; He’ll make us foundation stones for strong generations; He’ll grant us the role of restorer.

Is that not a life well worth living?

Pour yourself at His feet and allow Him to use you as He wishes. The light He pours into and through you in return will be greater and more blessed than anything you can begin to imagine.
