The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 60:21
"Then will all your (Zion's or Israel's – that's us today!) people be righteous
(As the Lord describes the new season He is bringing to His people
when He establishes His new Jerusalem,
He declares His righteousness over all its inhabitants.
Our righteousness is not dependent on us, but completely on the Lord
and the righteousness that He graciously imparts to us.
Today through His declaration, He pronounces us righteous
because He chooses to invite us to walk in His light and purposes.)
and they will possess the land forever.
(Before, God's people had been exiled from the land
the Lord had promised them and had given to them.
Now He will return them to their homeland in a victory procession
that proclaims to all that this land belongs to them.
He also returns to us the right to inhabit the places He has given us.
He returns us to the places where we have been defeated and broken
to establish our victory in those places in our lives.
He bestows on us, His people, an inheritance of life and victory in Him.)
They are the shoot I have planted,
(Our name belongs here because we are the plant, the tender shoot,
that the Lord has carefully and purposefully planted.
God Himself has taken our life and tenderly and carefully planted us in Him.)
the work of My Hands, for the display of My splendor."
(He takes such special care of and gives such special attention to us
that He tends us with His Own Hand
to cause us to represent Him and His splendor!
We are the apple of His eye!
We are His careful creation! We are His Own formation!
We are His masterpiece, the work of His very Hand!)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
