(Nuggets from Isaiah 58:11)
This is the first day of June, and the Lord brings you a GLORIOUS PROMISE, to guide you continually and satisfy your soul in drought, make your bones fat, make you to be like a WATERED GARDEN, and a SPRING of water, whose waters fail not.
THESE ARE VERY SERIOUS COMMITMENTS FROM THE LORD, but they are not for everyone. These blessings are reserved for only those who have submitted themselves to be led by the Lord as a SHEEP submits to the leading of the SHEPHERD, and for those who are really thirsty and always longing to have more of God's presence in their lives.
The blessings God promises us are usually much more than the few things He asks us to do.
Today's verse showcases God's blessings of GUIDANCE, PROVISION, FRUITFULNESS, and RESTORATION to all those who remain faithful to Him and do His will.
"And the Lord shall guide thee continually," like the GOOD SHEPHERD He is, He promises to GUIDE YOU WITH HIS COUNSEL, by His WORD, and by His SPIRIT, and that as He guided the Israelites through the wilderness with the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, He will guide you.
God also promises all His FAITHFUL children who are thirsty after RIGHTEOUSNESS, whose priority is to please Him, thirsting to know Him more, thirsting to commune with Him the more, thirsting to conform to the image of Jesus Christ, that He will SATISFY their soul in drought, and make their bones fat.
In Proverbs 15:30B, the wise man Solomon wrote:
"and a good report makes the bones fat."
What is the good report talked about here? THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE GOSPEL, making such people MESSENGERS of the GOOD NEWS, making their bones fat and strong, shod with the preparation of the GOSPEL, equipping them to preach and win souls for Him.
The icing on the cake is "making them look like a watered garden",
tended by God Himself. They are those who have been chosen, called out and separated by God Himself, elected by Him. They are watered by the Lord himself, and they receive the dews of His grace, and as such, all plants that are planted in such a WATERED GARDEN must THRIVE and FLOURISH, lift up their heads, shoot up and grow, and bring forth FRUITS that will remain.
THIS WILL BE YOUR LOT THIS JUNE AND ONWARD, IF ONLY YOU ELECT TO SEEK GOD AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
DAY 152 OF 365 (2026)
