Isa Msg 41

Truth:
1. He reigns not only in our hearts but also in the tent of David. Christ reigning in the tent of David signifies consolation, encouragement, and restoration.
2. For Him to reign in us in the tent of David means that He reigns in us with a kingdom.
3. Lovingkindness means tender affection. All of us can approach His throne because lovingkindness is there.
4. To judge is to adjust and correct in order to make peace. Christ is the unique Judge in the whole universe.

Life experience/Application:
1. If we are under His ruling, His reigning, we will be the same as He is in these virtues -- lovingkindnes, truthfulness, faithfulness, justice, and righteousness.
2. Lord, we do not ever want to plant plants for another god. We want to always remember You.
3. He not only saves us in many ways but also defends us at the time of need.
4. We have such a Teacher who will no longer hide Himself in a corner from His people but will always instruct His people to turn to the right or turn to the left at the crossroad.
5. Today we are enjoying Him in these four aspects in the age of grace as a foretaste. Christ is our King, our eternal Rock, our Savior as our mighty Defender, and our Teacher. Every day He is teaching us. He is no longer hiding. Whenever we come to a crossroad, He is there at the corner, telling us whether we should to the right or to the left.
