Isaiah chapter 26, verse 8.

In the path of your judgments, O Lord, we wait for you.

Your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul.

I love this verse. What a picture what a picture. And it's had a huge impact on my life. Because here we've got Isaiah in the middle of everything going on in the

world around him. He's saying, I'm waiting for you, which we know is a picture of trusting in you.

And then he says, so I have a desire in my soul

as I look at everything in the world around me. And it's like, okay, what's the desire?

It's, he says, it's your name and your remembrance. Some translations say, your renown.

Your name, your remembrance, your renown, or what I desire in the world around me.

And I just think about, this is exactly how Jesus taught us to pray.

From the very beginning, pray like this, our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

cause your name to be made known as holy.

And this is the desire that is intended to drive all of our lives.

Like everything we do, everything we think, everything we say, we want to do it with a desire

for his name, his renown, for his glory.

I just want to encourage you to think about today, what you've got going on in your life today. Be driven with one desire. I want your name, oh God, your renown,

your glory to be made known through me today in my life, in my family, in my work. I just, I want your glory to be made known through me today in my life, in my family, in my work.

I just, I want your glory to be made known.

And everything I do say, Lord, I want your glory to be made known in my family.

So let's just pray these things.

God, please, in our lives today, cause your name to be glorified.
