Wow, has it been a busy day! But I'm here at the computer now to share what I learned about Isaiah 59-63.
And I have to confess, I didn't learn a lot. The book of Isaiah is still confusing to me.
But there is one verse I want to share that was inspirational this morning.
Isaiah 59:1 - Behold, the LORD's hand is not so short that it cannot save; nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear.
Even when our sins take us far from God, He can still reach us and pull us back, if that's what we want.
No matter how lost our families may be, He can still reach them and draw them back.
He is not deaf. There is nothing wrong with His ears. He hears us. Always. And there is nothing wrong with our prayers, as long as they are in accordance with His will.
And in the vein of salvation for our loved ones - because this is something I've been dealing with lately - I want to share 2 Peter 3:8-9.
But do not let this one fact escape your noticed, beloved, that with the LORD one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The LORD is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
I don't know what you're waiting for, but I know what I'm waiting for.
And God has not forgotten either of us. He is not deaf to our prayers, and His arm is not too short to reach us.
Yet He sees time differently than we do, being the One who created it. He is never too late. Never too early. His timing is perfect.
I pray that you will turn to Him in your wait, as I am trying to do. And pray for me, dear friends, as I pray for you, that we will wait well, and patiently, serving Him in this season.
And as always, let us pray that His will be done above all else, because we cannot see the bigger picture.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Isaiah 64-66.
