“Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, You who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were hewn, And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him.”
Isaiah 51:1-2
God wants certain people to listen to Him. They are people who desire righteousness and who seek the Lord. Who are these people?
They are those God has graciously called to Himself; those He has hewn from rock; those He has dug from a hole in the ground. In other words, those God has transformed from what we were to who we now are in Christ. They are those—like Abraham and Sarah who were lost in the world without hope—who God called out of the world to Himself.
Let us never forget where we were and where we were headed before God saved us.
Let us never cease worshiping and praising God for His incredible mercies.
Let us be filled with gratitude for the blessings He has poured out on us.
And let us “listen to Him” that we may know and do His will.
Soli deo Gloria! To God alone be glory!
