Dwell Before the Lord

Scripture Isaiah 23:18 Her gain and her pay will be set apart for the LORD; it will not be treasured nor laid up, for her gain will be for those who dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for fine clothing.

Observation: All through this chapter it tells how the Lord will deal with this city and all that they saved up for themselves will be destroyed. This is the last verse of this chapter telling how all they set aside for themselves, will end up being the Lord’s people and how our Lord will take care of us as we glorify Him.

Application: I’m not a Californian or even an American citizen, but my citizenship is from my Lord. I’m a child of God and need to act that way. There should be no confusion from the people that God surrounds me with that I’m a Christian and my Lord is my Master.

Prayer: Dear Lord please forgive me when I get lost in the things of this world. Hold me close to you and guide me through this life until I come home to You.
