The Lord Has Created It

Scripture Isaiah 45:8: “Rain down, you heavens, from above,
And let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,
And let righteousness spring up together.
I, the LORD, have created it.

Observation: I can’t wait until righteousness pours down, because lately all I’ve seen is evil. Maybe I only see evil because that is what I’m looking for and that is what the devil wants me to see. Righteousness is still here in the heart of a volunteer that helps care for others that can’t help themselves, police officers in the midst of hate that are trying to help, missionaries and if you look you’ll find so many others.

Application: I need to be more aware of God in the middle of all the evil and ask Him to open my eyes to the righteousness that still exists around me. To be part of that righteousness to help others see God through the pain and confusion of what is happening.

Prayer Lord give me strength and wisdom to help bring righteousness to people around me. Make me aware of those You surround me with and may I be an encouragement to them.
