“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

 

I am sure you can relate to Isaiah. He was living in a time of spiritual distress, when so many people (even God’s people) were following their own stubborn hearts instead of yielding to God. Isaiah knew the dire need of God’s power and yet he saw people destroying their lives by ignoring him. In a desperate prayer, Isaiah cried, “Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!” (Isa. 64:1). Isaiah wanted God to “show up” in power…to demonstrate to the people his glory and reality. There are   periods of time when God seems to leave people alone to their own devises and there are times when God acts for all to see. I ask myself, “how can I be in the place with God, so I can rightly perceive him and receive his answers to prayer”? The secret to receiving from God is found a little further in Isa. Chapter 64, “Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.” Millions of people have lived and died since time began on this planet. Few have really heard or perceive who God is or what he has done. And yet, God holds out the keys to us…to wait for him. If we learn how to pray, how to trust, how to humbly wait on God for the meaning of everyday life, he will gladly show himself to us as a God of action his action. He promises not to be a distant or silent God. The question is, “are we willing to discipline our heart to learn to wait and to trust in him as the source of life itself?” We wait and God acts. This doesn’t mean we do nothing but sit and wait in a corner somewhere. We wait by learning how to pray as we live and acting in the faith that he invests in our   spirit. So, never get tired of waiting. God has a breakthrough coming for you because he, “acts on behalf of those who wait for him” v4.
