September 26 devotional

Scripture
Isaiah 48:17
“The Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good and leads you along the paths you should follow.”
Observation
This verse tells me who God is and what God does.
1) God is:
Lord- my master and master of the universe
Redeemer- he rescued me from slavery
Holy One- He is set aside as holy, pure, and righteous.
My God- I am His child
2) What God does:
Teaches me what is good
Leads me along the paths I should follow
Application
Everything I need is found in who God is and what he does for me. He is my master, redeemer, Holy One, and my God. He teaches and guides me in life. I look to Him as the source of my every need, want, and desire.
Prayer
I acknowledge my complete and total need of you. You are everything I need. I will not look to you. You are my God. You are everything I need.
