8/1/07 Life Journal - Lord, Spare Your Servant

Thus says the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says,"Don not destroy it for there is benefit in it", So I will act on behalf of My servants in order not to destroy them all.
Isaiah 65:8

God shows His mercy for those Israelites that are His servants, even when punishing an entire kingdom, for he sees the good in them. A foreshadowing possibly of the followers of Christ joining the saints in heaven at the final tribulation. They are set apart from His judgement. Because of this we must constantly strive for Holiness and stay humbled at the feet of God so that we may be counted in the Book of Life. Lord, let me me good in Your sight so I may hear You say, "Well Done!"
