Day 30 – Isaiah 61:1-6
Today is the last day for this study. It has been 30 days of scriptural dessert that could nearly cause a spiritual diabetic coma. The passages I have entertained here for our study are richer than any earthly delight, and the truth ringing within leads our hearts to a common purpose, being servants of the King.
Coming now to this last passage, I am planning to take the advice of our mission’s director and continually look over these passages until the time for this particular trip to Romania is upon us.
1 Peter 2:5 says: “you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
All too often, we fail to see that God has called each of us to be ministers of Jesus. These bodies of flesh are to be his temple and the Spirit is to Abide within us. All of us are also called “Priests” and with that, comes many responsibilities.
We live in a lost and dying world. We are to preach the gospel to those who are poor in spirit; Spread the news of a Blessed Hope to the afflicted and brokenhearted; To proclaim the Liberator to those in sin’s bondage; To proclaim the return of our Lord and Savior; and to comfort all those who have cause to weep for the state of this fallen world.
All you who are meek should consider all that the Lord has promised and bear witness to his truth till his return. There is a day coming when all will be made whole. Till then, continue in God’s Grace and run the race set before us.
