God via email

I've never been one to read a bible....I mean I have been growing in my relationship with God but actually reading his works has been something that I've postponed. Therefore, I decided to have a daily scripture emailed to me, its not as the best way to get more familiar with the bible but for me its a step. So I got this scripture a couple of days ago that really spoke to me.

"For this is what the high and lofty One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite." – Isaiah 57:15 (NIV)

The scripture also comes with an interpretation:


The way that God reveals Himself in Scripture is dynamic! He is far beyond all we can comprehend, and yet He knows every detail of our thoughts. This means that God not only hears the cries of our soul, He has the power to do something about it! To humble ourselves before God is to open the door for renewing our lives.
 
I really needed to hear this because sometimes I feel that the reason my prayers are not answered are because I don't have the courage to speak them aloud. This scripture helped me realize or maybe just remember that God knows everything about me even the stuff that I can't speak.
