Today’s Community Scripture – 4/29/2025

Regarding Zion, I can’t keep my mouth shut, regarding Jerusalem, I can’t hold my tongue, Until her righteousness blazes down like the sun and her salvation flames up like a torch. Foreign countries will see your righteousness, and world leaders your glory. You’ll get a brand-new name straight from the mouth of God. You’ll be a stunning crown in the palm of God’s hand, a jeweled gold cup held high in the hand of your God. No more will anyone call you Rejected, and your country will no more be called Ruined. You’ll be called Hephzibah (My Delight), and your land Beulah (Married), Because God delights in you and your land will be like a wedding celebration. For as a young man marries his virgin bride, so your builder marries you, And as a bridegroom is happy in his bride, so your God is happy with you.

Isaiah 62:1–5 (MSG)

Key Verse – You’ll get a brand-new name straight from the mouth of God. Isaiah 62:2 (MSG)

– Reflection :

There are many negative labels that the enemy would like to give you: average, not talented, not good enough, unattractive, inferior, washed up, a victim. From an early age, he’ll try to change your name through disappointments, through people who attempt to bring you down, through your own mistakes and failures. But when you learn to reclaim your name as the person he created you to be, as the individual he calls you, all the forces of darkness cannot stop you.

– Where do we go from here?

Allow your Heavenly Father to define who you are—not society, not your errors, nor your past experiences. He identifies you as exceptional, redeemed, and forgiven. He sees you as healthy and free. He acknowledges you as unique, a change-maker, and a giant slayer. He refers to you as a son of strength and a daughter of purpose. Your new identity is blessed, prosperous, confident, capable, and victorious. You are a child of the Most High God. Now, it’s essential to align with God’s perspective. Let His designation for you take precedence over any others. Continually affirm what God says about you.

– Our Prayer for Today

Father, we thank You for having the right to name us. We appreciate that Your names for us takes precedence over every other label we’ve received and the errors of our past. We will identify ourselves as You do and grow into who You claim we are. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
