Isaiah 52 tells us about the God we serve. Isaiah tells us to “pull up your boots….dress up in your Sunday best”. Time to meet God. He relates the facts that the children of Israel had been “hauled off….sold….lived as strangers”. But that is changing. And he states the truth we all need to recognize and proclaim: “Your God reigns”. God is in control. He “has rolled up His sleeves” and is making things happen. God is alive. Does that describe the God you know? Is He active and involved in what happens in your life? The answer is that He is whether you recognize it or not. He is at work. He is in control. He does reign!
God also wants to have us experience His power and touch in our life. Isaiah says it this way: “Just watch my servant blossom”. Are you blossoming in your life today? That is God’s desire. He desires us to experience life to the ultimate, to live abundantly and to be consumed by His love for us. He is at work and active all around us. God wants to express Himself in us and through us. He wants this to be the way the world sees us: “For what was unheard of they’ll see with their own eyes, what was unthinkable they’ll have right before them”. God wants to do amazing things. He wants us to see them and experience them. He wants others to see them happen in and through us too. Does God reign in your life? Or maybe the better question is – do you recognize that God reigns in your life? God reigns! Shout it form the mountaintop. Let everyone know He is alive.
