Former things.

Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon her; she will bring fourth justice to the nations. She will not cry aloud or lift up her voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed she will not break, and a faintly burning wick she will not quench; she will faithfully bring forth justice. She will not grow faint or be discouraged until she has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for her law. Thus says God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and whatcomes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it:"I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols. Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them."

Isaiah 42:1-9


Lord I am here humbled before you once more. I again have nothing to give, but offer up everything that I have left. You have designed every single aspect of my life and you know exactly when healing comes, you know exactly the moment it begins. Keep hold of my hand as you have promised. Take me along for this journey ahead of me. I am willing, I am wanting, I am ready. I desire to be a light for the nations. I am declaring with you Lord that the old things have come to past. I feel ready again Lord to take on the world under your name. I feel inspired to live up to your expectations once again. Thank you for your love that you have provided so abundantly.
