For since the beginning of the world
Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.—Isaiah 64:4-5
I stopped here as I read this morning. There are times of late that I would love the Lord to demonstrate His glory and His power as He did in the days of old. In this I pray as David did in Psalm 119:
It is time for You to act, O LORD,
For they have regarded Your law as void.—Psalm 119:26
Oh, that He would rend the heavens, make the mountains shake and the nations tremble at His Presence. Oh that He would make the peoples of the earth see their sin and cry out to Him to be saved.
Father…You are good and do good. Truly,
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man. The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."—1 Corinthians 2:9
Thank You that You are God and beside You there is no other. You act for those who wait for You. You meet those who rejoice and do righteousness…who remember You in all their ways. You are our sun and our shield. You will give grace and glory. No good thing will You withhold from those who walk uprightly.
19 Oh, how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
In the presence of the sons of men!
20 You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion
From the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD,
For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!
22 For I said in my haste,
"I am cut off from before Your eyes";
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried out to You.
23 Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints!
For the LORD preserves the faithful,
And fully repays the proud person.
24 Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the LORD.—Psalm 31:19-24
