“For thus says the Lord: ‘To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And hold fast My covenant'” — Isaiah 56:4 (NKJV)

ISAIAH 56 IN ITS ENTIRETY.

Thought For The Week: Back in the old days, if you couldn’t have kids—if you were a eunuch—everyone pretty much ignored you. You were left out, made to feel less than, sometimes even invisible. But this passage flips that script. God reaches out to anyone feeling dried up, overlooked, or like they don’t matter, and He makes a promise you can actually hang onto.

Look at what the verse says: choose what makes God happy. It’s not some quick, once-and-done decision. You’ve got to do it deliberately, again and again—choosing God’s ways over whatever everyone else expects of you. Maybe right now you feel boxed in or stuck, like you’re a “dry tree.” Maybe life hasn’t gone your way, or people have shut you out. But God isn’t counting your achievements or demanding perfection. He’s searching for a heart that keeps coming back, stays true, and actually wants Him above everything.

So just keep it simple today: relax in His grace, follow His rhythms, and hold tight to your connection with Him. The next part of this scripture promises an everlasting name, one that can’t be erased. Your worth isn’t about your resume or reputation; it’s about who you belong to.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for always noticing me. Help me focus on what makes You smile today instead of chasing my own stuff. I’m clinging to Your promises, trusting that You’ve given me a name and a place that really lasts. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
