The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 65:1a
"I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me;
I was found by those who did not seek Me.
(The Lord tells Isaiah that part of His response
to Isaiah's heartfelt prayer of repentance
is to broaden His outreach to other peoples.
Though God's chosen people have turned their backs on Him,
He continues to choose to reveal Himself, to be found,
by other peoples who have not even sought Him.
The Lord has determined that He will allow Himself to be revealed
and to be found by a nation that did not ask for nor seek Him.
He uses even His Own people's rejection of Him
to bring about His purposes for mankind
and to broaden and continue His redemption plan.
In a personal application for us today, the message to us
is that He also reveals Himself to us and causes Himself to be found by us
before we even knew we needed Him, before we ever sought Him.
This amazing God and Father set out to make Himself known
long before we cried out to Him in our need,
long before our father Adam fell from grace,
long before the Lord had even created man.
From before the beginning of time, the Lord knew we would need Him
and so had put a plan in place to meet that need
which is ours for the asking today.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
