Oh that Thou wouldest rend the heavens, that Thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at Thy presence
-Isaiah 64:1 (KJV)
Thoughts on Today’s Verse
Earlier Isaiah’s prayer was that God would look down from heaven on His people – but now the urgency of the request is such that the Lord would show His mighty power and rout the enemies of God’s people, who were waxing worse and worse. This reflects the increasing urgency seen in the book of Revelation, as the weary saints cry out to the Lord – “how long….” The times in which we live are getting darker and more difficult by the day, for so many in the body of Christ. But the Lord has promised that at His appointed time He will come and He will not delay – the trumpet will sound, the dead in Christ shall be raised and then we that are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds and so we shall ever be with the Lord,….. this is a comfort to the heart of each believer in Jesus as we unite in the harmonious chorus – Even So Come Lord Jesus…
My Prayer
Father God, we thank You that You have promised to be with us no matter what difficult circumstances invade our lives and we lift up our many brothers and sisters in Christ who are facing increasingly hard times. We are watching and waiting for the soon return of our Lord Jesus and join with the Spirit in praying Come Lord Jesus – In these increasingly difficult times, we ask for Your strength and courage to face whatever lies ahead knowing that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. AMEN
