[Jan_Sobieski]

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; - Isaiah 42:1

Amen! Jesus Christ is the only elect of God. He is the only one qualified for the election because the rest of us have sinned and fallen short. Whoever is "in Jesus", gets to share in the benefits of Christ's election!

“Behold my servant, my chosen one, in whom I delight…”

That is good counsel!

"Blessed is the (hu)man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly . . . his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in this law he meditateth day and night."

The LORD delights in those who delight in Him and in His Word!

"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."

The LORD delights in the obedience and rapt attention of them who serve him.

"Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams."

Jesus, volunteering to obey The Father, counted it as food.

"My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me."

What a delight to follow Him wherever He goes!

He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth:

This is a comforting verse, as we see the world decline. Thanks Bill.

I love Isaiah.

It’s my favorite OT book.

On, you preacher!

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine!"
