"This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word." Isaiah 66:2b
I love this verse. It was referenced in the sermon yesterday morning at church. I had never considered how it spoke to me before. When I think about what is means to actually tremble at God's word...that's how my soul longs for His word, His HOLY scripture: His truth!--to the point of trembling...have to have it! His word gives me hope, His word gives me a future...His word gives me assurance...and great promise!
His promises are sure... in Luke 9:48 Jesus' words ...whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me...For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest."
For the least of these...
For the least of these...that keeps going through my mind...
Joel 2:13 says Rend your heart and not your garments.--Our heart is the most important thing to Our God, Our King...more important than anything we have...the only thing we can offer Him to change.
If I've given to God my heart to change, then my prayer would be that His word would penetrate and change me from the inside out...making me pleasing and acceptable to Him. If His word is changing me and it serves to nourish me, I'm going to crave it...tremble to receive it! I never want to take for granted what easy access God's word is to me...I don't have to hide my copy anywhere...or fear for who may know that I have it! I Praise Him for that! My earnest prayer, though, would be that I would actively crave God's word...because it is true!

Amen, sister! I need to tremble more in hunger for God's word than because the thermostat is turned down too much... :)
