29.6.08

This is the Scripture that was read over my internship every night when I was at the International House of Prayer in 2006...

Isaiah 62

Zion’s Coming Salvation
 1(A) For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
   and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,
(B) until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
   and her salvation as a burning torch.
2(C) The nations shall see your righteousness,
   and all the kings your glory,
(D) and you shall be called by a new name
   that the mouth of the LORD will give.
3You shall be(E) a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD,
   and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4(F) You shall no more be termed(G) Forsaken,[a]
   and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,[b]
(H) but you shall be called(I) My Delight Is in Her,[c]
   and your land Married;[d]
for the LORD delights in you,
   and your land shall be married.
5For as a young man marries a young woman,
   so(J) shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
   so(K) shall your God rejoice over you.

...it is such an awesome picture of who God is and what He loves to do in His people!
