Today’s Verse:
Prayer for Today :
"He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. " - Isaiah 53:2
Heavenly Father,
Thankyou for the description of Jesus in the Old Testament. Yes, indeed! He grew up nothing like a King, but just like as a tender shoot plant, silently and humbly. He had no qualities in him which attracted us to worship him instantly when we meet with him.
Father, as Isaiah has pointed out that Jesus sprang up "like a root out of dry ground", meaning He is strong and He can preservere through tough circumstances! Thankyou Father, for giving us Jesus as our example. Father, we should indeed be like Him who spend much time in prayers and maintain high self esteem to encourag and empower others.
Tough times never last but tough people do. Heavenly Father, we can never develop strong characteristics without trials, but we cannot go through circumstances without Your gace and blessing? "For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance." (Matthew 25:29). Job lost everything, but at the end, Father rewarded him with double of his lost.
“However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts” (John Calvin)
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
