Scripture (KJV)
Isaiah 66:2
“For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”
Reflection
In a world where God’s Word is often ignored, questioned, or treated casually, this verse reminds us of the kind of heart that pleases the Lord. God is not impressed by wealth, status, or outward religion. He is looking for men and women who humbly submit themselves to Him and take His Word seriously.
To tremble at God’s Word does not mean to live in fear of Him. It means to have such reverence and respect for the Scriptures that we allow them to shape our thoughts, our decisions, and our daily lives. A teachable heart is a heart that God can use.
Every time we open the Bible, we should ask, “Lord, what are You trying to teach me today?” When we approach His Word with humility instead of pride, God faithfully speaks to our hearts and continues the work of transforming us into the image of Christ.
May we never become so familiar with Scripture that we lose our awe of the God who gave it.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for giving me Your perfect and unchanging Word. Forgive me for the times I have taken it for granted or failed to obey what You have shown me. Give me a humble heart that listens carefully to Your voice and gladly follows Your truth. Help me to treasure Your Word above the opinions of this world and to live each day in a way that honors You. Continue to mold me into the person You desire me to be.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
