Isaiah 50: 4-5
The Sovereign Lord has given me His words of wisdom, so that I know what to say to all these weary ones. Morning by morning He wakens me and opens my understanding to His will. The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me, and I have listened. I do not rebel or turn away.
Isaiah was used mightily by God because he had a right attitude before God. O that we who are His would learn to hear His voice speaking to us quietly in our spirits, or by dreams or visions, or by the reading of His Word. May we listen intently to what He says to us in order to obey and follow completely.
Let the mind that was in Christ Jesus ("Not My will, but Yours!") be in each of us. May He awaken us morning by morning to open our understanding to His will for us. May He grant us His wisdom in how we speak to one another, with His law of kindness under our tongue, that our words will be gracious, kind, sweet, and Truthful. May His integrity rule over our lives binding all its parts into one whole. May He help us to continually listen to our Father's words, and strengthen us to follow Him faithfully, not rebelling or turning away regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in.
Then we will know the way in which we are to walk, the path He has planned for each of us before the World began; that we each will accomplish our parts in His great Plan of the Ages and rule with Him in His Kingdom.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
