Give Him No Peace
Isaiah 62:7(MSG)
They are to give him no peace until he does what he said
What did He say? He said a lot and if you'd like to read it below it is full of promises. You could say 'ah but that was written ages ago to a city called Jerusalem, it doesn't apply to me.' However, I say, all of God is eternal, outside time, His words are full of life, they are living and active, sharper than any two edged sword. The word is there, waiting to be activated by faith.
The first thing God does is speak words of promise, telling of a new future, the old has gone behold the new has come.
Then the writer, Isaiah says ' I've posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. Day and night they keep at it, praying, calling out, reminding God to remember. They are to give him no peace until He does what He said, until He makes Jerusalem famous as the City of Praise. '
I am to continually remember, encourage myself with the promise, choosing to believe.
I am to continually remind Him to show I remember and expect Him to act, He loves that!
Then I am told the purpose: 'Walk out of the gates. Get going! Get the road ready for the people. Build the highway. Get at it! Clear the debris, hoist high a flag, a signal to all peoples! '
I am to tell others the good news. This isn't all about me.

Isaiah 62:1-12 (MSG) (Regarding Zion, I can't keep my mouth shut, regarding Jerusalem, I can't hold my tongue, Until her righteousness blazes down like the sun and her salvation flames up like a torch.
Foreign countries will see your righteousness, and world leaders your glory. You'll get a brand-new name straight from the mouth of God.
You'll be a stunning crown in the palm of God's hand, a jeweled gold cup held high in the hand of your God.
No more will anyone call you Rejected, and your country will no more be called Ruined. You'll be called Hephzibah (My Delight), and your land Beulah (Married), Because God delights in you and your land will be like a wedding celebration.
For as a young man marries his virgin bride, so your builder marries you, And as a bridegroom is happy in his bride, so your God is happy with you.
I've posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. Day and night they keep at it, praying, calling out, reminding God to remember.
They are to give him no peace until he does what he said, until he makes Jerusalem famous as the City of Praise.
God has taken a solemn oath, an oath he means to keep: "Never again will I open your grain-filled barns to your enemies to loot and eat. Never again will foreigners drink the wine that you worked so hard to produce.
No. The farmers who grow the food will eat the food and praise God for it. And those who make the wine will drink the wine in my holy courtyards."
Walk out of the gates. Get going! Get the road ready for the people. Build the highway. Get at it! Clear the debris, hoist high a flag, a signal to all peoples!
Yes! God has broadcast to all the world: "Tell daughter Zion, 'Look! Your Savior comes, Ready to do what he said he'd do, prepared to complete what he promised.' "
Zion will be called new names: Holy People, God-Redeemed, Sought-Out, City-Not-Forsaken.
