Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
Dear Ones: Here I AM! The theme of this chapter in the book of Isaiah is “when fasting pleases the Lord.” Whether you fast food or something else seeking to draw near to Him, the Lord takes notice. Revelation comes as He sheds light on His Word. Healing comes swiftly. And the Lord, Himself, will be your rear guard against the attacks of the dark one.
When the Jews celebrate the Fall Feasts, they make time for personal introspection with days of fasting. Many Christians follow suite because they know the benefits of prayer, fasting, and doing a spiritual heart check-up. As we search our hearts asking the Holy Spirit to reveal what is hindering us, He answers our call with, “Here I AM!”
Take the time to search your heart with the help of the Holy Spirit. When you invite Him into this endeavor He always answers, “Here I AM!” Listen His for His guidance and be quick to repent and change your attitude and ways. Then the other benefits of this verse will be yours. Have an overcoming day. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
