Scripture
The nations will see your righteousness. World leaders will be blinded by your glory. and you will be given a new name by the Lord’s own mouth.
Observation
The nations will see the righteousness of Jerusalem. The leaders will be blinded by her glory. It will never again be called “The forsaken City”, but it will be called “The City of God’s Delight” and “The Bride of God.”
The Lord has sworn to protect Jerusalem. The citizens will raise the grain and they will eat it.
The Lord tells the people of Israel that their Saviour is coming. They will be called “The Holy People.”
Application
Collectively, we the church shine the glory and righteousness of God to the nations. You and I are glowing in the darkness of the world, pointing people to the salvation that comes in Christ
Even though we might not feel that important or that holy, the things that we do, the words we speak, and the decisions that we make all point to the glory of Jesus.
Yes we sin. All of us are works in progress. Our growth in God and the changes that He makes in our lives are a testimony to God’s grace.
God gives us all a new name, a new destiny. The name that God gives us speaks of that new destiny and the new character He is building in us. We are bound to Him by His love in a never-ending covenant.
Prayer
Lord, you are so good to me. Thank you for rescuing me from the kingdom of darkness and giving me a new name as your child. Amen.
