Read Scripture: Isaiah 50: 4-9a
Key Verse: Verse 4b-5a “He wakes me up in the morning, wakes me up, opens my ears to listen..” The Message
God at Work in the Morning
God wakes us up every morning to listen to his voice. We are to be ready to listen to the words God has for us each new day.
Often when we have prayers at Church of the Reconciler, people will thank God for waking them up this morning. They are grateful for a new day to worship God and be a part of God’s family. They do not worry about having all the “things of this world,” rather they are content to be alive and ready to listen to God’s command.
In this passage of scripture, Isaiah is telling us that God is ready to support us in all our actions for him. Peterson says in The Message that God is the Master God who is ready to give us strength to overcome all things.
Let us be awake and have our ears and eyes open to new possibilities. God will support us.
Prayer: Gracious God, help us to be awake every morning to new things you would have us do for you. Amen
Thought for the Day: Be awake, God wants you to listen.
