Daily Reading: Isaiah 5:1-17
READY // SILENCIO
Take a moment to quiet your mind and prepare your heart for your time with the Lord.
READ // LECTIO
Read the passage above up to three times aloud. Allow yourself to feel the words as they are read.
REFLECT // MEDITATIO
Now direct your focus on the words, phrases concepts or sentences that got your attention. What is God speaking to you today through His word?
Isaiah 5:12 The harp and the strings, The tambourine and flute, And wine are in their feasts; But they do not regard the work of the LORD, Nor consider the operation of His hands.
Music, instruments and even wine have a purpose in feasts and celebrations. They are all given by God and are to be used in worship and appreciation of Him. Here God is saying, "I gave you everything for your party, but I wasn't invited. You used the things I gave you to be use in worship, and you used them for your own selfish purposes."
Don't forget the source of every good thing I have is God. Be grateful. Use what He gives me for His purposes and His glory. Invite Him to every party!
RESPOND // ORATIO
Pray in response to what the Lord has spoken to you.
Father, I don't want to leave You out of my daily life. You're the reason for everything in my daily life. You are the Guest of Honor in my life today, and every day.
