It is God who teaches His people, by His word and Spirit.

[Tang Wei Ping]

Isaiah 2:3 ：
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Commentary on this verse：
This verse is a powerful declaration of God's sovereignty and love for His people. It speaks of the pious and faithful gathering to seek the Lord's guidance and wisdom, as well as the universal influence of His law. The themes of worship, obedience, and divine guidance are prevalent in this verse.

The context of Isaiah 2:3 is essential to understanding its significance. Isaiah was a prophet in ancient Judah during a time of moral and spiritual decline. The people had turned away from God and turned to idols and other gods. Isaiah's prophecies were a call to repentance and a reminder of God's promise of judgment and restoration. In this verse, Isaiah encourages the people to return to the Lord and seek His wisdom and guidance.

The calling of the Gentiles, the spread of the gospel, and that far more extensive preaching of it yet to come, are foretold. Let Christians strengthen one another, and support one another. It is God who teaches His people, by His word and Spirit. Christ promotes peace, as well as holiness. If all men were real Christians, there could be no war; but nothing answering to these expressions has yet taken place on the earth. Whatever others do, let us walk in the light of this peace. Let us remember that when true religion flourishes, men delight in going up to the house of the Lord, and in urging others to accompany them. Those are in danger who please themselves with strangers to God; for we soon learn to follow the ways of persons whose company we keep. It is not having silver and gold, horses and chariots, that displeases God, but depending upon them, as if we could not be safe, and easy, and happy without them, and could not but be so with them. Sin is a disgrace to the poorest and the lowest. And though lands called Christian are not full of idols, in the literal sense, are they not full of idolized riches? and are not men so busy about their gains and indulgences, that the Lord, His truths, and precepts, are forgotten or despised?

Our prayer：
Forgiving Father, forgive us for all acts of sin, including disobedience, hatred, rebellion and idolatry. Forgive those who have rejected Your Gospel. Please have mercy upon them and extend Your grace toward them. Forgive us, the Body of Christ, for not sharing Jesus and the Gospel with more people. Forgive us for being timid and reserved about sharing the Gospel. Forgive us for not reaching out to those who we know are in a backslidden state. LORD God, forgive us for (list any sins that you have committed).

Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to forgive and help us to forgive. As for us, Holy Spirit, bring to our remembrance those we need to forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal names or faces of people that you may need to forgive. As He reveals them to you, say, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.) Holy Spirit, help us all not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one.

Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to You, the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Tang Wei Ping, your reflection on Isaiah 2:3 highlights the beauty of God's sovereignty and His desire to teach and guide His people. This verse is indeed a powerful declaration of God's love and His willingness to instruct those who seek Him. In the context of Isaiah's time, the people had turned away from God, and the prophet's words served as a call to repentance and a return to divine wisdom.

Let us remember that it is through God's word and Spirit that we are taught and guided. As Christians, we are called to strengthen and support one another, promoting peace and holiness. If all people were true Christians, there would be no war, for we would walk in the light of God's peace. When true religion flourishes, people delight in going to the house of the Lord and urging others to join them.

It is crucial to note that depending on worldly possessions and indulgences can lead us astray, causing us to forget or despise the Lord and His precepts. We must be vigilant against idolatry, whether it be literal idols or the idolization of riches and gains.

In our prayer, we acknowledge our sins, including disobedience, hatred, rebellion, and idolatry. We ask for forgiveness for those who have rejected the Gospel and for our own timidity in sharing the Good News. We also seek forgiveness for not reaching out to those who are backslidden.

Let us pray:

Forgiving Father, we come before You, acknowledging our sins and seeking Your forgiveness. We ask. We ask. You to have mercy on those who have rejected Your Gospel and to extend Your grace toward them. Forgive us, the Body of Christ, for not sharing Jesus and the Gospel with more people. Help us to be bold and unreserved in spreading the Good News.

Holy Spirit, remind us of those we need to forgive and help us to do so. Deliver us from temptation and the evil one.

Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to You, the One sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb forever and ever. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

This prayer has been flagged for review.
Note: Please include a statement regarding salvation through Jesus Christ.
The issue is a lack of recognition for the need for the name of Jesus to access God.
God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

It is also important to know and understand that we are all sinners according to Romans 3:23:

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Note: Be cautious of anyone who preaches a message that does not involve the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, Messiah, or Christ. The scripture makes it known how important this is!

We join you in praising God for His sovereignty and love, as highlighted in Isaiah 2:3. Let's not forget that it's through His word and Spirit that we are taught and guided. As we seek His ways and walk in His paths, let's also remember to support and strengthen one another, promoting peace and holiness.

In our own lives, let's strive to not be swayed by worldly possessions and indulgences. Instead, let's keep our hearts and minds fixed on Him, following His precepts and teachings. We must be vigilant against idolatry in all its forms.

Now, let's pray together. Father, we come before You, acknowledging our sins and seeking Your forgiveness. We ask for mercy for those who have rejected Your Gospel, and for grace to extend towards them. Forgive us, the Body of Christ, for not sharing Jesus and the Gospel with more people. Help us to be bold and unreserved in spreading the Good News.

Holy Spirit, remind us of those we need to forgive and help us to do so. Deliver us from temptation and the evil one.
