A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord
Isaiah 11:1-3
We are all curious about our family heritage. Many of us take time to go to family reunions. Still others log on to research sites to find out if there is an exciting person in their background. Isaiah traces the roots of Jesus back to show His connection with King David. It is that strong heritage of freedom that Jesus proclaims for the people.
We share in that victory and heritage because we are children of the king.
- Meditate on your spiritual heritage and thank God for your experience.
- What is something you are most grateful for in your heritage?
Let us delight on these things as we worship Him.
