"Listen to Me, you that
pursue righteousness, you that seek the Lord. Look to the rock from which you
were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug.... Listen to Me, My
people, and give heed to Me, My nation; for a teaching will go out from Me, and
My justice for a light to the peoples. I will bring near My deliverance swiftly,
My salvation has gone out and My arms will rule the peoples; the coastlands wait
for Me and for My arm they hope.... My salvation will be forever, and My
deliverance will never be ended" (Isaiah 51:1-6).
O Lord, My God, stir up
my spirit to pursue righteousness. Stir up the spirit of my city, my nation, my
people to pursue righteousness - to be right with You, right with one another,
right within ourselves. Move us and enable us to listen to You, to give heed to
You. May we embrace Your teaching and enforce Your justice. May we be expectant
in Your hope. And may we see Your swift deliverance and experience the fullness
of Your salvation.
Stretch forth Your arm
to rule and Your hand to heal. Send forth Your Spirit to awaken us and empower
us to be all You've created and called us to be. "Awake, awake; put on strength,
O arm of the Lord! Awake, as in days of old, the generations of long ago! ...So
the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing;
everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness,
and sorrow and sadness shall flee away!" (v. 51:9-11)
Yes, Lord; let it be so
in me and in my land, in our generation, as in the generations of long ago. And
yet, let it be so in our generation as never before. "But as it is written,
'What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God
has prepared for those who love Him' - these things God has revealed to us
through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God"
(1 Corinthians 2:9-10). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
