Delight in the Lord

Isaiah 58:6-14

“It is not until we are willing to put away our own desires and self-satisfaction, that we truly begin to know the joys of service God. Delighting in the Lord begins by putting God first in everything we do. Reaching out to help others, letting our joy be spilled out and overflowing, touching lives for God. God promises us many reward if we follow his commands and live a life that will honor Him."

Welfare of Others- undo the heavy burden

  • What is true religion?
  • Jesus was a servant, not a an oppressor
  • Sensitive to the needs of others- If thy brother be naked
  • Let us do good unto all men- Especially unto…

Works are Essential – dealing bread to the hungry

  • Show me your faith by your works
  • Faith without works is dead faith

Wealth of Rewards – glory of the Lord shall be thy reward

  • God’s light shines on those who give of themselves
  • God will see your good works as righteousness
  • The approbation of God- His approval- Well done..

Watered Garden – thou shall be like a watered garden

  • Your soul will be satisfied when life get tough
  • Your life will show forth contentment- delight
  • Jesus said, “Well of water springing forth”

Wasted Places Rebuilt –the repairer of the breach

  • God desires to use us to restore others back to God
  • Built the altars once again- Revival of Prayer
  • Dig the wells that have been filled- Remove the clutter

Worship on the Sabbath – Shall honor Him

  • Negative- Turn away from your own pleasures
  • Positive- Honor Him- focus on Christ
  • Is your Sabbath a delight or duty?

Word of the Lord has Spoken-the Lord hath spoken it.

  • The Lord will lift you up and make you victorious
  • He will provide and sustain you- Establish you goings
  • God will honor and bless you for honoring His Day
  • There is no question about it. God said t!
