Isaiah 51 talks about the impact one person can have. Isaiah recalls the life of Abraham and shares a powerful truth that we should all keep in mind. “One solitary man when I called him, but once I blessed him, he multiplied”. God has changed the world multiple times through the life of one, or very few. Consider Adam where it all started, or Noah were it all started again. Abraham was promised to be multiplied beyond the ability to count. And Jesus – He selected 12 but those men changed the world for eternity. So what we do matters. We have the ability, as a piece of clay in God’s hands, to leave a mark on the world for eternity. Far too often we don’t think our life makes any difference. But it does, or it can, if we live it for Him.
Isaiah also goes on to share the truth of our salvation. God tells us “my salvation will last forever, my setting-things-right will never be obsolete”. We are living for some pretty high stakes when it comes to eternity. That is a very long time, and God’s salvation lasts that long. It is important we get that relationship right, that we allow His plan to bring us into an eternal future with Him through Jesus to occur. It will never be obsolete, nor will there ever be another plan. God has given us the path to eternal life, and it is up to us to take the steps to make that part of our life and future. Have you got that locked in? Have you made the commitment that will allow you to spend eternity with the Father? Now is the time to do it before it is too late!
