Isaiah 52:2 NASB "Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, Captive Jerusalem; Release yourself from the chains around your neck, Captive daughter of Zion."I knew it was somewhere and as I began to search for it, I found it covered in dust! Today's verse tells us to shake off the dust, to rise up, to release ourselves from the chains that hold us back! While doing some home repair, I needed a tool that I hadn't used in a while so when I found it, it was covered in dust. I had to clean it up before I could use it! I wonder, when God needs us, calls us, do we need to shake the dust off, to come clean with where we've been living?! As I finished the job, I placed the tool back in the tool box where it would be clean and ready to go when I needed it next! Don't let the dust of the world, the grim of life, keep us from being used by God. Get up, get cleaned up and get ready for action, cause He's gonna use us so let's be ready to go! peace, tom
