Isaiah 50:4-10 (NIV)__________________________________________________________
4 The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue,
to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning,
wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.
5 The Sovereign Lord has opened my ears,
and I have not been rebellious;
I have not drawn back.
6 I offered my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face
from mocking and spitting.
7 Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,
and I know I will not be put to shame.
8 He who vindicates me is near.
Who then will bring charges against me?
Let us face each other!
Who is my accuser?
Let him confront me!
9 It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me.
Who is he that will condemn me?
They will all wear out like a garment;
the moths will eat them up.
10 Who among you fears the Lord
and obeys the word of his servant?
Let him who walks in the dark,
who has no light,
trust in the name of the Lord
and rely on his God.
Instruct me by Your will Father. Bless my ears so that whatever that I listen in I can sympathise with them in their situation, Bless my tongue so that it encourages and affirms others during their time of confusion or fear.
Lord You have placed many around me, and I hope to become the beacon of hope and strength that reflects Your great love, so that I may reach out to others and bring them comfort when they need a listening ear or wise advice.
