Topic: Jesus falls the First Time. | |
---|---|
My Jesus,it seems to me,that as God,You would have carried Your cross without faltering,but you did not.You fell beneath its weight to show me You understand when l fall.Is it pride that makes me want to shine even in pain?You were not ashamed to fall-to admit the cross was heavy.There are those in the world whom my pride will not tolerate as l expect everyone to be strong,yet l am weak.I am ashamed to admit failure in anything.If the Father permits failure in my life just as He permitted you to fall,then l must know there's good in that failure which my mind will never comprehend.I must not concentrate on the eyes of others as they rest upon me in my falls.Rather,l must reach up to touch that invisible hand and drink in that invisible strength ever at my side....
LET'S PRAY!! Weak Jesus,help all men who try so hard to be good but whose nature is constantly opposed to them walking straight and tall down the narrow road of life.Raise their heads to see the glory that is to come rather than the misery of the present moment. Your love for me gave You the strength to rise from Your fall. Look upon those whom the world considers unprofitable weak servants and give them the courage to be more concerned as to how they stand before You,rather than their fellowmen. |

Isaiah 53: Suffering Servant 1, Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 2, For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3, He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4, Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6, All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7, He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8, He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9, And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10, Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11, He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12, Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. |
