October 12, 2013 - Isaiah 10:20-27
20 In that day the remnant of Israel,
the survivors of Jacob,
will no longer rely on him
who struck them down
but will truly rely on the LORD,
the Holy One of Israel.
21 A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob
will return to the Mighty God.
22 Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel,
only a remnant will return.
Destruction has been decreed,
overwhelming and righteous.
23 The Lord, the LORD Almighty, will carry out
the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
will no longer rely on him
who struck them down
but will truly rely on the LORD,
the Holy One of Israel.
21 A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob
will return to the Mighty God.
22 Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel,
only a remnant will return.
Destruction has been decreed,
overwhelming and righteous.
23 The Lord, the LORD Almighty, will carry out
the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
24 Therefore this is what the Lord, the LORD Almighty, says:
“My people who live in Zion,
do not be afraid of the Assyrians,
who beat you with a rod
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon my anger against you will end
and my wrath will be directed to their destruction.”
do not be afraid of the Assyrians,
who beat you with a rod
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon my anger against you will end
and my wrath will be directed to their destruction.”
26 The LORD Almighty will lash them with a whip,
as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff over the waters,
as he did in Egypt.
27 In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders,
their yoke from your neck;
the yoke will be broken
because you have grown so fat.

My Lord Almighty, thanks for choosing me to be one of Your remnant. You convert me to learn truly relying on You, not relying on my own strength. I return to You everyday as I open my eyes to see and open my ears to listen in the morning of everyday. You are the Holy One of Israel and You are my Mighty God. I return to You; I return to You. I prayed that I can listen to Your voice each day and now You allow eye floaters to emerge in my left eye that causes me to slow down my motion and try to focus on my front only. More frequently I have to close my eyes to rest. Please speak to me as I close my eyes every time. I am Your remnant; I return to You; I truly rely on You; please speak to me. I also pray that though eyes floaters will be with me for a lifelong time, I would like to see Your vision - Your Glory, Your Presence, Your holiness, Your mercy with us as I open my eyes. I would like to sacrifice part of my eye sight for seeing Your Face and Your Love to me and Your people.
