The Bible tells us that those that know their God shall be strong and do exploits. The relationship is the foundation for the manifestation. It is in fact the key to the sustenance of the manifestation. In the Bible reading today, Isaiah shares God’s words to Israel regarding how far they have drifted from God through iniquity. He recalls the many benefits and nourishment showered on Israel and now they have forgotten their source.  In the latter part of the chapter, he goes on to say that the ‘bribery’ of the sacrifices that they offer are not accepted because the badge of relationship that should lead the sacrifice is missing. So, what is your relationship status? Do you know God? How do you show it? More importantly, does God know you? Does he still recognize you as a child in whom he is well pleased? 

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for loving us despite our shortcomings. Please Lord, I come before you to renew my relationship with you. Please forgive me of every past act of disobedience. Please accept me and let my life be the evidence of one in whom you are well pleased 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
