The Lord is very great, and he lives in a high place.
He fills Jerusalem with fairness and justice.
He will be your safety.
He is full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
Respect for the Lord is the greatest treasure. Isaiah 33: 5-6 NIV
These verses were so encouraging to me tonight. Since the Lord now dwells in His people, each of our hearts is like a mini-Jerusalem, which means He provides me with:
- fairness
- justice
- safety
- salvation
- wisdom and
- knowledge
I need all of those things, especially now.
The NIV says in verse 6 that the “fear” of God is the key to this treasure.
Since God is the only one who can provide me with all that I need to be the mother, wife, and leader I’ve been called to be – He is clearly worthy of my respect!
And therefore, I will receive all I need as I recognize my needs and His ability to fulfill them.
Amen!
