[S] Romans 11:4-5 --
4But what is the divine response to him? "I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL." 5In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice.
[O] God responded to Isaiah's question (almost a complaint out of fear) of why he is left all alone as a fugitive. Isaiah just didn't realize the bigger plan God had of preserving His people according to His grace. Even though he could not see himself, Isaiah was reminded that there are 7k other men who have sustained their obedience to God despite the oppositions prevalent in that society. God not only knows where he was but also did not leave him alone to carry on the bigger task of God by also preserving more men. This begs the question of how will they network and find each other without having facebook.com but even there, God is bigger than facebook.com!
[A] I am going to lift up my pastor because at times being in the frontline receiving all the beating may make him feel like Isaiah. I want to lift him up so he will be uplifted from God's provision of fulfilling His purpose by sending more men with the same heart and spirit.
[P] Dear Father, please let my pastor be soaked up by Your uplifting message of strength through other men sharing the same vision and purpose. Please allow him to be protected from all the spiritual attacks and may his heart be filled with the hope that comes from You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
