Isaiah 32
The prophecy of this and the next chapter could have been given for and during the reign of Hezekiah. But ultimately it spoke through his reign and that of Josiah who was also a righteous king, to that of the King of Kings, Jesus.
Jesus reigns in righteousness, He is righteous, v1
However those who come after Him, the Christians, the ‘rulers’ that make known His righteousness, v1
It is we who are tasked with:
Being a shelter for those caught in a storm of life or water for the thirsty, shade for the weary, v2
Bringing a spiritual renewal to people where the blind see and the deaf hear, v3
Revealing the truth of the Bible with understanding, v4
Revealing the truth and exposing the deception of actions, v5-6
Revealing wickedness and righteousness and not letting them converge into one, v7-8
Get people ready to receive the King, v9
Renewed focus and energy on prayer, v13
Being the receivers and facilitators of the Spirits coming, v15
Pursue fruit as the evidence of the Spirits presence, v17-20.
Look at that list again and think of who you are going to meet today.
You are called as a ruler to rule, to lead, to set the example.
May God bless you today as you try.
