WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday January 13 – January 19
What God Looks For - Man as Provider

Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.” - Isaiah 66:1-2 ESV

It was my honor to be a founding member of the Delta Force and train and command that elite group of warriors. When we evaluated candidates, we looked for essential qualities beyond the obvious requirements of exceptional physical fitness, unwavering courage, and mental toughness. A Delta Force operator also needed to demonstrate strong leadership and motivational skills, the ability to adapt to rapidly changing situations, and a high level of technical proficiency. Additionally, maintaining discipline, integrity, and situational awareness under extreme stress was essential. In short, we had a set of exacting qualifications for anyone wishing to serve in this role.

Isaiah 66:2 lists three qualities God values and expects of those who serve Him. The first of these qualities is humility. Scripture repeatedly tells us that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (Prov. 3:34; James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5). The word translated as “humble” here means poor, needy, or lowly. In this context, it means people who recognize their spiritual bankruptcy before God. That’s what Jesus meant by the first beatitude: “Blessed are the poor in spirit” (Matt. 5:3). A humble person realizes he is absolutely dependent on God.
