The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 59:17
He put on righteousness as His breastplate,
and the helmet of salvation on His head;
(When God saw the few good people who were devoted to Him,
when He saw that no one among the Israelites came to their aid,
but, instead, ridiculed and mocked them for their trust in their God,
He arose as a mighty Warrior, arming Himself for battle on their behalf.
Today, when we are alone, when we are under attack,
when the situations we face pit us against the world and its followers,
the Lord God Himself still rises up armed for battle
for our benefit to defend and protect us.)
He put on the garments of vengeance
and wrapped Himself in zeal as in a cloak.
(To fight on behalf of those who need Him,
the Lord clothes Himself with His unfaltering determination
to vindicate His Own Name as well as us His people.
He refuses to allow His people to be conquered
because of the love He has for His people
and for the sake of His Own reputation.
He wraps Himself in His offensive armor of zeal for His Name and His people.
He never half-heartedly fights for us.
When He takes up battle for us, He does so
with the zealous glory and might of God Almighty,
the One in Whom we can be assured we will see victory,
the One we know is on our side and Who already has won the day for us.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
