Father God,

Today, I pray that today we would treasure, we would cherish the precious reality of our irrevocable calling to be Yours. We read in Isaiah 48 how Your calling on Israel both in terms of preserving them despite their unfaithfulness and in terms of Your bringing about Your plans for them, even through Cyrus, was certain beyond any obstacle or hindrance to Your calling.

We clearly have no idea, no sense of the amazing nature of our calling as Your children if we are not overwhelmed by the beauty and glory of this adoption as sons and daughters of the Living God.

Cause our eyes to perceive beyond the physical and to peer into the spiritual world with spiritual eyes such that we would rejoice with overflowing joy in the calling upon our lives to belong to You.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
