Isaiah 8; 1 Peter 2&1

Father, you have spoken strong to me, and you have instructed me not to walk in the ways of the world. I follow you, Lord, and I know you are sovereign in every detail of your creation.

I am not afraid or troubled by the conspiracy of those who are evil for I know you are the Lord of Hosts. I hallow you. It is you who I fear in love. I dread the thought of failing your desires for me.

You are my Sanctuary.

To those who are evil and lost, you are a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence. Many will stumble. They shall fall and be broken and snared and taken away.

I once walked in this darkness, but now, by your election and grace, I have seen your great light, Jesus, my Lord and Savior. I come unto him as my living cornerstone, chosen and precious. My new life is built on Christ Jesus. I am chosen and made part of your royal household, Father. I am now your own special kin. You called me out of darkness into your marvelous light.

Therefore, I gird up the loins of my mind. I am serious to be your disciple. I rest my hope fully on your finished work, Lord Jesus. I am holy as you are holy.
