I DID IT MY WAY !!!

Listen anyone who fears Yahweh among you

Listen to the voice of his servant!

Whoever walks in darkness

And has no light shining for him,

Let him trust in the name of Yahweh,

Let him lean on his God.

 

But you, you are all setting light to a fire,

To the embers that you are lighting.

So will my hand deal with you

And you shall lie down in torments. (Isaiah 50: 10-11)

 

These two verses talk about those who fear the Lord and walk in obedience to His commandments but they are dead on the inside, why?

There’s darkness within your soul because you have been trying to work everything out with your own strength and your own understanding and because you have been kindling your own fire and the Lord hasn’t been energizing it then you will go to bed at night in grief and sorrow.

When you go to bed at night, do you worry about your finances? Do you worry about your family? Do you worry about your job or anything else? Well the reason you have had a sleepless night is because even though you have feared the Lord and loved the Lord you’ve done all these things under your own energy and in bed you will not experience any rest for your soul because you’ve been holding onto something and haven’t let go so that that the Lord could work on your behalf.

If ‘the God of Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers’ (Ps 121:4) then there is no need for the two of you to stay awake.

 Everything that is handed over to the Lord in prayer and supplication (Philippians 4:6) will be empowered and energized by the Lord.
