I get up ten minutes past midnight. After my personal morning liturgy, both the interior motto (lot) from Habakkuk 3:19 and the daily motto (lot) of the Moravian Church (Herrnhut) in Isaiah 11: 4 speaks to me personally as Messiah:
יהוה אדני חילי וישם רגלי כאילות ועל במותי ידרכני למנצח בנגינותי
“Habakkuk 3:19 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
19 The Lord [a]God is my strength,
And He has made my feet like hinds’ feet,
And makes me walk on my high places.
For the choir director, on my stringed instruments.
Footnotes:
- Habakkuk 3:19 Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord”
The word reminds me of my dream of February 24, 2009 (October 11, 2011) in which I was able to set the tone for a huge orchestra. Here JAHWEH leads me to myself, to the conductor of the orchestra (and to His people).
ושפט בצדק דלים והוכיח במישור לענוי-ארץ והכה-ארץ בשבט פיו וברוח שפתיו ימית רשע
“Isaiah 11:4 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
4 But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.”
It is not clear why the motto (lot) book “omits” the second part of the verse. The judgment (Matthew 25.31 ff.) Belongs to the returning Messiah! However, it will be largely hidden.
