Contemplative Bible Reading

Isaiah 66:2 (New Living Translation)

“I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts,
who tremble at my word.

The Lord God Creator blesses those who step back and do not impose their power on others. God blesses those who are saddened when they realize that they have committed wrong. God blesses the simple readers and listeners who tremble at His Word.

Where is the gold medal for the biggest, fastest, and strongest? Hmm, odd. This doesn’t sound quite right.

This, however, is what God tells us. Let us listen and heed. Our ways often disagree with God’s. Let us accept God as Lord. Please God, help me in my unbelief.
