For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. — Isaiah 57:15 KJV

Reflection
God is intimately concerned with the humble and contrite in spirit. He chooses to dwell with those who are lowly and broken-hearted. This demonstrates God’s immanence, His closeness, and His compassion. He is not distant or detached; rather, He is near to those who recognize their need for Him and approach Him with humility and repentance.
The promise in this verse is that God will “revive the spirit of the lowly” and “revive the heart of the contrite.” It speaks to God’s desire to restore and renew those who are humble and repentant. His presence brings healing, encouragement, and life to those who are weary and burdened.
In our own lives, this verse encourages us to adopt a posture of humility and contrition before God. It reassures us that no matter how high and holy He is, He is always near to us when we come to Him with a sincere and repentant heart. God’s promise to revive our spirits and hearts is a source of great hope and comfort, reminding us of His unwavering love and mercy.
