Isaiah 41 v 21 "Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob".

Isaiah 43 v 15 "I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King".

Isaiah 43 v 16 "Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters".

Do you have a "cause" that needs answering by the Holy One? A cause is defined as a case, or a matter or question to be decided. The LORD says to present it before Him, let Him know your reasons, and He will make a decision, a way that will be right.

When I was in the Army, I worked in the personnel field. Often, I had cases that only the Commanding General could make the final decision, either approving or disapproving the case presented before him. I had to write many of these "decision" papers. The pending case had to be written up, and had to include the problem, facts bearing on the problem, discussion of the problem, supporting documentation, and a bottom line that recommended the Commanding General either approve or disapprove the case.

When strong "reasons" were clearly documented, the Commanding General could easily come to a conclusion as to the right course of action to be taken. Often the decision papers I presented were approved or disapproved with no comments from the Commanding General. Sometimes, the General would write comments, or approve with slight modifications. When I had his signature on the decision paper, my case was decided, and I knew the clear path to take.

All my Army experience was not in vain. Many times, I have written "decision papers" to the Commander-in-Chief of all heaven and earth. I write down my case in a similar manner as I did when I was in the Army, addressing it to the LORD of all things. I then spread it before Him, and pray, and ask that a decision be made. There is something about writing a paper like this, it is intimate to the only One who can help, the LORD is His name. I have often received marvelous answers to these "decision papers".

I first started doing this when I read Isaiah 41 v 21. Produce your case before the LORD.

Isaiah 37 v 14 "And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD".

Isaiah 37 v 15 "And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying".
