He expected a crop of justice,
but instead he found oppression.
He expected to find righteousness,
but instead he heard cries of violence.
They furnish wine and lovely music at their grand parties—
lyre and harp, tambourine and flute—
but they never think about the Lord
or notice what he is doing.
What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes
and think themselves so clever.
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies!
The whole earth is filled with his glory!”
Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?”
I said, “Here I am. Send me.”
9And he said, “Yes, go, and say to this people,
Unless your faith is firm,
I cannot make you stand firm.”
Lord God my Father,
I pray for my expectations to be in line with or replaced with your expectations, keep me from my lost ways and false comfort. I am ignorant of your way and need your guidance. Your Glory is what I live for, may all I do and think bring you glory. Use me for your purpose and create a clear path for me and close my eyes to my past desires. Make my faith solid and unshakable.
In Jesus name,
Amen
