    Chapter 62 (ESV)

    1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,
    until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
    2 The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
    and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.
    3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
    4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,
    but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,
    and your land Married;
    for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
    5 For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so shall your sons marry you,
    and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so shall your God rejoice over you.

    6 On your walls, O Jerusalem,
    I have set watchmen;
    all the day and all the night
    they shall never be silent.
    You who put the Lord in remembrance,
    take no rest,
    7 and give him no rest
    until he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes it a praise in the earth.

     

    REFLECTION:

    1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate
    2. When you read the second time, reverse all the “you” to “I and me”.
    3. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and meditate on this passage? Tell God how it makes you feel to know that He delights in you and is happy with you.
    4. Rest in the truth that God delights in you. If you wish, imagine situations when you feel anything but special (i.e., when you are hard on yourself, when someone puts you down, or when you get back a test, or work review that isn’t so great). See yourself responding to the situation by saying, “Yes, this is true, but God delights in me.”

     

    PRAYER:

    Stay with God for a little longer.  Continue to converse with God and listen to what He wants to tell you.  Then write down any thought and/or prayer in your spiritual journal.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27)

In January 2009, PGC started the “260 Appointments with God” Bible Reading and Devotion program. From September 2017, the program has a vision to help brothers and sisters do devotion and reading through the whole Bible in four and a half years starting with the Book of Genesis. The program was renamed to “Listening to God” in January 2020. Thank the Lord the first cycle finished with Revelation on March 25, 2022. From March 28, 2022 “Listening to God” began another cycle starting with Genesis. The order of the books is alternated between the Old and New Testaments. For details, please refer to Bible Reading and Devotion Book Sequence.

All participants can track their progress of Bible reading using the PGC Bible Reading Chart. PGC participants can also track their Bible reading progress online and query through the Bible Reading Record Query page. PGC participants who do not have an account should create an account according to the instructions in the Registration page. The Bible Reading Record Query will allow tracking of personal progress after logging in. Even without logging in, you can still use the Bible Reading Record Query for fast access of the devotion information.

May brothers and sisters listen to and obey God’s Word every day, and be the Lord’s disciples.
