Isaiah 41 is a testimony to the faithfulness of God. Isaiah writes about God’s promise to His people. Things have been rough – enemies have caused pain and damage and God is now letting the people know that He has not left, and in fact – He is restoring them to Himself. This chapter is a series of promises and descriptions of how God is faithful to His people. We need to cling to what He tells us, because we serve and are loved by and claimed by the same God today. His promises are real and dependable for us. He says: “I, your GOD, have a firm grip on you and I’m not letting go”. God is holding on to us. He never lets go. That doesn’t mean we can’t pull away and stray and seem like we are out there on our own, but He will “never leave nor forsake us”. It is not in His nature. Check out the words God uses to show His faithfulness. All action words – things He is doing and does for us today:
- I’m first on the scene
- I pulled
- I’ve picked
- I haven’t dropped
- I’m with
- I’m your God
- I’ll give
- I’ll help
- I’ll hold
- I’m right here
- I’ll open
- I’ll place
- I’ll plant
Pretty impressive list of things God is up to. He is not a passive God that just sits there and lets us flounder around on our own. He is active and alive and involved in our lives and this world we live in. Are you joining God in His work, or resisting Him at every turn. We need to observe what He is up to and join Him. We need to see where He is working and get on board. We need to watch what is happening and be part of His work. God is alive. He is active in your life and mine. He is the great I AM. Are you living in alignment with His activity in your life? What a blessing when we get on His page. He will not let go. Let’s join Him and let Him have control in our lives today!
