Wig’s Word of God Today 1-16-2011
Here I am; Your commands for me are written in the Scroll. To do Your Will is my delight; my God, Your law is in my heart!” Psalm 40:8-9
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world. John 1:29
Isaiah 49:3, 5-6, Psalm 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10 , 1 Corinthians 1:1-3 & John 1:29-34
Labeled by many Bible Scholars as “The Greatest of the Prophets,” it is believed Isaiah was created to proclaim the Truth of God’s desires by Isaiah’s witness described in Isaiah, Chapter 6: “I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of His garment filling the temple. Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled their feet, and with two they hovered aloft. “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts!” they cried one to the other. “All the earth is filled with His glory!”” Isaiah 6:1-3
Isaiah’s reaction to this witness of seeing the LORD was a realization that he was a man with unclean lips who lives amongst the peoples of unclean lips stating; “Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, holding an ember which he had taken with tongs from the altar. He touched my mouth with it. “See,” he said, “now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed, your sin purged.” Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” “Here I am,” I said; “send me!” Isaiah 6:5-8
My favorite Hymn has always been “Here I am LORD” because it reminded me of when I first was called by God to become a “Teacher of God’s Children” in the middle of the night when I visiting my father some seven years ago. “Here I am LORD, is it I LORD, I’ve heard You calling in the night. I will go LORD, if You need me, I will hold Your people in my heart.” Yesterday I went and helped out a Men’s Emmaus Retreat and I was reminded by God through my tears of joy that God has called all of us to do His Will by a surrender to His Son’s Truth. The Joy of Christ was in every smile I witness yesterday. The strength of Christ was in every hug or “un abrazo” as we say in our Emmaus Walk I received. This joy and strength of Christ is something I feel every morning when I get up to study and read His Word to accomplish His Will for my life. By loving your love of Christ, you too can be feel the call of Isaiah and know his feeling when he wrote: “I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD, and my God is now my strength! ” Isaiah 49:5c
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, it is with great joy in my heart that I pray today for all men who are completing their last day of the retreat “A Walk to Emmaus.” May their walk be guided by the Light of Your Son’s Truth by their faith, hope, charity and love. I pray they come to know the importance of Your Three P’s of Glorifying You Lord in their practice of reading their Bible daily, their praying unceasingly over everything and their proclamation of Christ’s love. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God Bless,
