10-15-07 Isaiah 26:8, 9

Isaiah 26:8, 9 (NAS)
Indeed, while following the way of Thy judgments, O LORD, We have waited for Thee eagerly; Thy name, even Thy memory, is the desire of our souls. At night my soul longs for Thee, Indeed, my spirit within me seeks Thee diligently; For when the earth experiences Thy judgments The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

Isaiah 26:8, 9 (NLT)
LORD, we love to obey your laws; our heart’s desire is to glorify your name. All night long I search for you; earnestly I seek for God. For only when you come to judge the earth will people turn from wickedness and do what is right.



Once you were just a wayfarer, wandering through life on your own; however, you soon found yourself on the path of justice, heading for condemnation and judgment. It was then you met Jesus the Lord and you discovered that He already took your sentence and was executed in your place. Now you keep company with Him as you journey through life.
Yeshua has become the desire of your heart. You long for His presence and wait expectantly to see Him fulfill you in every area of your life. You hope in His name, for you have been bound together with Him. His reputation, fame, and glory belong to you through Him.
In the middle of the night you find yourself longing and desiring Adonai. You seek and diligently look for Him. You approach and draw near to Him with all of your thoughts and emotion. He has become your delight.
Now you have the privilege to reveal the righteousness of God to the inhabitants of the earth. Through your life's experience, you teach and instruct them in what is right, just, and normal. They see the deliverance, victory, and prosperity that is yours through Jesus. You have shown them what it means to enjoy the salvation of the Lord.
