S – But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame

Isaiah 50:7 ESV

O – Commentary:

Externally, the servant would be disgraced and put to shame, but within himself he would calmly await God’s vindication (see 29:22; 54:4; 61:7). • set my face like a stone: The servant would be determined to do God’s will (see Luke 9:51).

 New Living Translation Study Bible (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2008), Is 50:7.

A – The Lord works on our behalf.  Sometimes, we need to get an “attitude” of determination that we have faith in God, trust his timing and will wait for his fulfillment.  It is not easy but we can do it.

R – Heavenly Father, you are all powerful and your timing is perfect.  Empower us today with an attitude of faith and trust in you.  We know you work on our behalf.  Help us walk that out today.
