Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

Isaiah chapter 59, verse 1.

Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save.

Oh, don't you love that verse,

the Lord's hand is not short, not so short that it cannot save.

I think about my own life. I encourage you to think about

your life. God has clearly shown that his hand is not too short to save, despite our sin,

despite where any one of us, every one of us should be. Here we are, like praying to God, hearing his words,

celebrating his salvation in our lives. There's no way we would be saved. I would be saved

from my sin if God's hand was too short to save. And the reality is, his hand is not too short

to save your mom or your dad,

who you've been praying for for years or your son or daughter,

or this or that family member, or this or that friend.

Like who comes to your mind when you think about somebody who seems so far from salvation, so hard to the gospel. Who comes to your mind?

And as they come to your mind, just hear the Word of God. The Lord's hand is not shortened,

that it cannot save. We pray all the time on this podcast for people groups around the world who have little to

know knowledge of the gospel. Today, think about the Mali people group of India. 12.4 million of them,

hardly any known followers of Jesus, worshipping millions upon millions of Hindu gods. And the

Lord's hand is not too short to save the Mali people,

or Somali people, or North Korean people, or Yemeni Arabs, or Beloch in Pakistan, or the people

groups of Afghanistan that we prayed for all throughout May on this podcast. So let's pray, God,

we give you glory for your long hand, your powerful hand that brought about our salvation.
