Isaiah 64:4 "From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear,
no eye has seen a God besides you,
Who acts for those who wait for Him."
We wait for no man.
We wait for our God.
The Potter Who has worked us well to this place.
You will not stop with This Work of Your Hands, our Father. Isa 64:8
Your hands are spread out to us.
May we let go of all our devices. Isa 65:2
These people so wanted God to manifest Himself like He did in the days of Moses and David and Elijah. They beg him to do what He used to do.
As I look back on my life and I am a little older,
I find myself begging for Grace undeserved.
Matthew Henry wrote:
"They need not fear being disappointed of it---for it is sure,
or disappointed in it, for it is sufficient.
The very Sure Presence of our God.
The very Sufficient Grace from our God.
Our hope is in Him.
Our joy is in Him.
Wrapped up in what our God will do in us and for us and through us.
Such Mystery that we cannot even comprehend though we grasp the Grace.
And my phone just rang.
And it was an answer to something we have waited on God not man.
No eye has seen. No ear has heard.
He is an ever Present Help in trouble.
He is our God.
And our eyes look to God for help.
And I weep with gratitude.
Henry also said:
God speaks his freeness and forwardness in doing us good.
Oh, my soul!
"See what communion there is between a gracious God and a gracious soul." M.Henry
Do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.
So present your bodies as a living sacrifice to God.
This is a powerful appeal.
Every single day of our lives,
we receive from God the fruits of His Mercy.
Take heed, if we make our plans for happiness
from the things in this world.
The work of the Spirit of God
begins in understanding there is more to this life.
May our whole lives be carried on every single day
til there is a change of who I am into who He is!
The likeness of God in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness. Romans 12
