A HEART FOR THE MASTER
And this is the reason: God lives forever
and is holy.
He is high and lifted up [exalted].
He says, “I live in a high and holy place,
but I also live with people who are sad [contrite] and humble [lowly in
spirit]. I give new life to [revive the spirit of] those who are humble [lowly]
and to those whose hearts are broken [contrite; repentant].
Isaiah 57:15 EXB
As you make efforts to go closer to the
Lord, your heart automatically get connected with a heart of the Master.
There are things that were not bothering
you before and for some reasons you were a fan of them; but as your heart is
drawn closer to the Master those things may start to offend you. This is the
sign that something is happening in you.
There are many things that we are doing
and life styles that we have that are contrary to the will of the Master. If we
are just shallow in our faith we may tend to ignore many things and live like
the way we think it’s best for us. As we engage ourselves deeper in the
relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ many things start to change and our
desire to be just like Him grow more and more in each new day.
The Bible says God lives forever and is
holy. He lives in a high and holy place; He lives with people who are repentant
and humble in spirit. He gives new life to those who are humble and those whose
hearts are repentant. This means a heart for the Master should be a repentant
heart; a heart that is willing to repent every time it goes astray to the
will of the Father.
This morning, I just want to encourage you
to live for the Master because He died for you. Master Jesus died on the cross
because of our sins; He took our suffering on Himself, He bore our pain. He was
punished for what we did. He was crushed because of our guilt. He took the
punishment we deserved, and this brought us peace. We were healed because of
His pain, Isaiah 53:4a, 5.
Ask the Lord to create a pure heart in
you, and renew a right attitude within you, Psalm 51:10. Ask the Lord to remove
the heart of stone from you and give you a heart of the flesh, Ezekiel 11:19. I’m
encouraging you to desire to be like the Master; desire to walk in His
footsteps by doing the will of the Father in your life. I pray that you may
continue loving the Lord and be submissive to His will in your life.
****Morning Prayer****

to You. Help me to live according to your will in my life. In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
