Father, we are waiting for the day when the mountain of your house is established. For the time when war is at an end. When all evil is judged with justice. Where people seek you. (Isaiah 2:2-4)
When will healing come? This whole world is spiritually sick. And so are its people. (Isaiah 1:5-6)
Why? Because they don’t recognize their Lord. They don’t understand the source of life, the one who can satisfy the hunger in their hearts.
Instead, they’ve abandoned you, despised you, turned their backs on you. (Isaiah 1:3-4)
When will healing come?
It won’t come by putting our trust in money or anything else we take pride in. (Isaiah 2:7-18)
It certainly won’t come by any of our political leaders. (Isaiah 2:22)
Healing will come when this world recognizes you as King, as Lord, as God.
Healing will come as we seek you. Truly seek you, not just in form, but from the heart. (Isaiah 1:11-19)
When people turn to you saying,
Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us about his ways so that we may walk in his paths. (Isaiah 2:3)
That starts with us, Father. That starts with your people turning to you with all our hearts.
So Father, put a hunger in me to seek you. Moment to moment, day to day, in full trust and dependence on you. Seeking your Word. Seeking your will. Seeking your wisdom. Seeking your strength.
Let your kingdom come to this broken world and the broken people around me.
Use me to that end.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
