Isaiah 5:17 - for the land

12/27/2025

 

Dear Jehovah God,

           And the water was depleted from the leather pouch, and she cast the child under one of the bushes.

Isaiah 5:17 – for the land

          Then the lambs graze as in their pasture, and strangers eat in the waste places of the wealthy.

Isaiah 7:25; Micah 2:12; Zephaniah 2:6 – then the lambs

          As for all the hills cultivated with the hoe, we do not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

          You surely assemble all of us, Jacob, You surely gather the remnant of Israel. You put them together like sheep in the fold; like a flock in the midst of its pasture they are noisy with men.

          So the seacoast is pastures, with caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.

Intention of this prayer: then the lambs.

          Then the lambs graze as in their pasture, and strangers eat in the waste places of the fat. As for all the hills cultivated with the hoe, YFA do not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they become a place for sending oxen and for sheep to trample. You surely assemble all YFA, Jacob, You surely gather the remnant of Israel, both humans and angels. You put them together like sheep in the fold; like a flock amid its pasture, they are noisy with men. So, the seacoast is pastures, meadows or wells for shepherds and folds for flocks.

You are Incomprehensible. Can I discover the depths of God? Can I discover the limits of the Almighty? Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are Your judgments and unfathomable Your ways! Because You Jehovah are God, You are beyond the understanding of man. Man only understands as You choose to reveal Yourself, Your ways, and Your purposes.

          You are Loving. You God Jehovah demonstrates Your own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ, YWYS, died for us. The one who does not love does not know You God Jehovah, for God is love. So that Christ, YWYS, may dwell in my heart through faith; and that I, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ, YWYS, which surpass knowledge that I may be filled up to all the fullness of You God Jehovah.

You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!

                                                                                  Amen, Amen, & Amen.
