Scripture:
Isaiah 19:21 "So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge the Lord. They will worship with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and keep them".
Observation:
Here Isaiah is prophesying about a time when even Egypt will acknowledge the Lord and serve Him. Whenever we hear of Egypt as believers, it never brings a good feeling. It reminds us of the people of Israel being in slavery and the terrible things Egypt did to them, yet God wants all to be saved and tells us that even Egypt will turn to Him. God is not willing that any should perish...Even His enemies.
Application:
When we see the heart of God for the world, we should respond by desiring the same. We should be part of making His name known in all the earth because that is close to His heart. God's desire is to bless every nation and for every nation to turn to Him. When we make that our desire, we will see the good hand of God revealed in our lives. He loves ALL and died for ALL.
Prayer:
Father, let me see the nations like You see the nations. Let my heart be ready to follow You into all the earth. Help me to be a blessing to all nations and help me be a part of taking the Good News into all the earth. There is no doubt from Your word that You want the world to follow You. I want to be part of that solution.
Your Son,
Jeff
