Isaiah 65:1

“I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, Here am I’.”

Here, God prophesies through Isaiah of how He would work salvation for you and I.

It’s how Israel was originally called. They were a chosen people. Not a people who proved that they deserved to have God watch over them.

God revealed himself to us in Jesus and through His disciples, announcing ‘Here am I, Here am I’. Now if God is ready to show Himself so readily to people who do not ask and who do not seek, what of you and I who do ask and seek (if even in the smallest ways)?

That God answers His people, is just a statement of a glorious fact. But it is not an if we do, then he does. He comes at all times. Ready at all times. Revealing at all times.

Jesus is the proof of that. The empty cross hangs on our churches as a reminder that God is always there for you and I. He came to us before we took any steps towards Him.

He really is that good!

Prayer for this week: Father, thank you for your redeeming work. I want to know more about Jesus and how He has given me everything. No matter what happens, I can always rely on what was done for me at the cross.
