Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net.

Isaiah chapter 66 verse 2

but this is the one to whom I will look.

He who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. Now our ears should immediately perk up when we hear God say this is the one to whom I will look.

Like who is God looking for? And the answer is two things. He who is humble and contrite in spirit, so humility, contrition before God.

And number two, and trembles at my word. When you hear the word of God there is a sense of awe and reverence and

trembling because of who is speaking it, God, this is his word, this is not the word of man.

When we open the Bible, even when I just read Isaiah 66 to the beginning of this podcast episode.

This is not the words of man.

That's the word of God.

God is speaking, so we tremble before it

because of who is speaking,

and because we know there's a weight that comes with it that we are

accountable for obeying it so this is who God is looking for this is what God is looking for, this is what God is looking for in our lives.

And so let's pray together that these characteristics would mark us today.

God, we look to you right now and we want you to look toward us.

We want you to be honored, pleased, glorified in us and so we humble ourselves

before you. God, we pray, as we prayed before in Isaiah, God help us to grow in humility,

to grow in a more proper understanding of ourselves.

Gotta be pray for contrite hearts.

We don't want prideful hearts before you,

that resist you, that turn away from you,
