Discernment Exercise 12
Passage: Isaiah 43:1-4
Ponder: “you are mine”, “I will be with you”, “you are precious and honoured… because I love you” created, formed, redeemed, called by name
“because I love you”:
- not because you have done anything honourable
- not because you have created or formed or redeemed or ransomed yourself
- because I created you, made you Mine and have chosen to be with you
- because I chose to elevate you to a place of honour and made you precious
- because I have extended my love beyond Jacob and Israel
- because you one of the all whom I called (Acts 2:39)
- because the Gentiles are also made clean (Acts 11:9) and you have received the same Holy Spirit that Peter and the first Jewish believers received (Acts 11:15)
Prayer:
God says: how the table have turned, and my first precious and chosen people are far from Me, while Gentiles such as yourself are Mine. Please pray for My people that they would come home, Christ is the all sufficient ransom for all peoples. No more exchanges of one nation for another.
I say: Lord God, I pray for Israel. I pray for Jews everywhere that they would come home and meet the Messiah, Your Son Jesus…
Lord, I praise You for loving me, just because You do. I do not deserve honour, yet You honour me like the wayward son who returned home (Luke 15:21-32). I do not deserve Your goodness. Will I ever know why You are good to me? May I not complain that You are unkind or unfair again. Amen
