So earlier today I was riding in the car and my mind began to wonder into my nothing box, which is where I sit completely zoned out, oblivious to everything (yes this is a real thing that tends to happen to me a lot). As I sat there enjoying the peace of nothingness, I heard the numbers 421, at first I was like what, then I heard Isaiah. I knew this did not come from my own thoughts because I was out of it, so I decided to look up Isaiah 42:1 on my phone and this is what I found:
"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations."
Instantly, my mind was blown. I wasn't real sure what this meant at first. I waited till later on when I got home so I could pray and really seek God for the meaning behind this verse and why He brought it to my mind. I realized this scripture was prophesying the coming of Jesus, so I asked God what does this have to do with me?
As a follower of Christ I am suppose to look like Jesus, act like Jesus and follow in His footsteps. God loves me just like He loved Jesus while He walked the Earth. I am my Father's beloved son, in whom He delights in and is well pleased, despite my flaws and mistakes. There is nothing I can do to make Him love me any greater or any less. I was made to have intimacy with my Dad, to walk so close with Him. I have the Spirit of the most High God residing within me and He wants me to use this to bring justice to the nations. Being just is being fair, and I can bring justice by showing people around the world the same love, mercy, and grace that was shown to me by my Father. This is what He wants! For me to shine a light in the darkness, for me to take His presence, His love, and His glory everywhere I go!
This is what God showed me about the verse above. He also said this doesn't apply to just me, but every follower of Christ. So I want you to go back, read the previous paragraph again, but instead of reading it as something I wrote, read it as if you wrote it. This is what God wants to speak over all His children.
Amen Celeb! Truth for sure- thanks for that word.
Love how God is speaking to you!
Those are wise words. It is easy to lose site of what God wants us to do but that is comfirmation that He expects us to be the light. It should be easy for people to see in us. Caleb….you have inspired me to build a closer relationshhip with God. You will be in my prayers. Keep up the good work!!
