Isaiah's words from God urging his people to get up and look at ourselves like God sees us couldn't be better for what I need to think about in the morning. Put away the things of old and the thoughts that we aren’t good enough, and don't let the past sin and struggles that we have repented from have any power over us. Let us embrace daily our identity as men empowered by the one true living God who has taken all of our deficiencies, inadequacies, and short comings, and thrown them away to only give us great freedom and power through His Spirit. God is standing beside your bed each morning waiting for you to get dressed, dressed in His strength and splendor. The image of God standing there beside our beds as we wake up with a shirt of strength and with His coat of splendor is a powerful one. How great it is that we can take on each day empowered, clothed in God's strength and splendor because we said yes to salvation and we are His children.
Picture this every morning as you wake up, God is waiting beside your bed with what He has prepared for you to put on, and get ready for the time of your life!
Proverbs 13:22 “A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children...”
