God Quote-Contrite and Lowly Spirit

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in Isaiah 57:15.

“I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.”

God is in heaven, but He is not confined by space. He is also near the person who is humbled by their sins and failures. In their brokenness, they turn to God for forgiveness and desire to walk in the light of His grace and truth. Prideful thinking keeps God at a distance, forming a pattern of trusting ourselves more than trusting in God.

Humility invites God to come near to help us and to save us from our sins. God is right at home in the heart of the person who loves Him and recognizes their need for Jesus every single day.

Isaiah 57:15-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
