"Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, with their voices they shall sing together; for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord brings back Zion." Isaiah 52.8
True servants of God give it their all to spread the word of the coming of the Lord. His return is imminent.
Anyone who is interested in going up with Him must be ready because the signs of His coming leave no doubt of His return.
"Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for I called him alone, and blessed him and increased him.” Isaiah 51.2
Look to Abraham means to follow his example of faith. He sacrificed his will to do the will of God. This is, his obedience demonstrated his faith.
"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." Isaiah 51.1
Those who seek shall find.
We found righteousness and we found the Lord. But in order for us not to forget what He has done for us, not even for one second, we must always remember where we came from - how difficult it was for Him to yank us out of the jaws of hell and the pit of destruction we were in.
"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath. For the heavens will vanish away like smoke, the earth will grow old like a garment, and those who dwell in it will die in like manner. But My salvation will be forever, and My righteousness will not be abolished." Isaiah 51.6
God allows us to see things two ways: The first is like the heavens, which will vanish away like smoke. The second is like the earth, which after some time, will become unusable. Because of this, its inhabitants will disappear like mosquitoes.
But those who wait on the Lord Jesus will be saved and will experience the joy of eternal righteousness.
"The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth." Psalm 145.18
Calling out to Him is not enough. You must call out to Him with all of your soul, you must pour out your heart and present conviction without holding anything back. It is just like expressing sincere love for someone.
"This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles." Psalm 34.6
Faith doesn't always attain answers because it may be contaminated with everyday doubts. However, when in distress, when the soul is in complete affliction, pure faith manifests itself and obtains answers.
"But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are..." 1 Corinthians 1.27-28
There are seven billion people on Earth. But only those who are humble are truly chosen by God. Those who are arrogant, haughty, pretentious, wise in their own eyes, think they are powerful; overall, those who consider themselves strong and able are unsuccessful.
Oh how happy are those who are chosen!
