I really believe that Isaiah 45 is the Word for Today’s Church. If we will heed what it says I believe that God will do what His Word says.
Isaiah 45:2 I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron. 3 I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.
God will go before us making the rough patches smooth and open doors that are shut all that we may know that He is God. The Key here is that He will go before us
vs. 5-6 I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other;
We must recognize that He is the only God. There are no other paths to Him except through His Son Jesus Christ.
Vs. 9 “ Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
We must submit to Him. We aren’t to quarrel with God by questioning His work. He is in charge and in control.
Vs. 22-23 “ Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. 23 I have sworn by Myself; The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, And shall not return, That to Me every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall take an oath
We must look to Him for your Salvation. This Salvation is spiritual and also physical. If we are in a hole cry out to God for only He can save you. In these times we must look in the right place for our solution.
Vs. 24-25 Surely in the LORD I have righteousness and strength. To Him men shall come, And all shall be ashamed Who are incensed against Him. 25 In the LORD all the descendants of Israel Shall be justified, and shall glory.’”
We must Trust in Him. While the world attacks and mocks God we must find shelter and wait for Him to Glorify Himself. In Him is all righteousness and strength so wait on Him to give it. Don’t be impatient but reside in Him.
God is willing to go before us. If we believe that we must recognize that He is God by worshiping Him, We must submit to His leadership, We must look to him for our help, and then finally we must Trust Him to fulfill what He has said.
