NO ONE LIKE OUR GOD

Isaiah 64:3-4 NLT 

When you came down long ago,

you did awesome deeds 

beyond our highest expectations.

And oh, how the mountains quaked!

4 For since the world began,

no ear has heard

and no eye has seen a God like you,

who works for those who wait for him!

The bible gives us a very rich history of God’s dealings with mankind and we read from page one of the awesome power of our God. He speaks, and light bursts forth, He speaks and the universe expands at the speed of 186,000 miles per second and it’s still doing it!

Isaiah had a revelation of the power of God and His awesome deeds and when the Israelites saw His power at work they literally quaked in their boots. 

Having said all of that, which hopefully gives us a tremendous reverence for our God, at the same time we know He is the God who is full of compassion and has such a deep and passionate love for us all that He was willing to sacrifice His Son on the Cross so we could be reconciled to Him. It seems beyond our finite minds to grasp it, and yet it’s the almost too good to be true, truth of the Gospel.😊

The last line says ‘who works for those who wait for him!” We don’t actually have to wait for God to do anything anymore because we’re in the New Covenant and He’s already done it all through Jesus at the Cross. Jesus finished the wonderful work of redeeming us from the curse of the Law, forgiveness of sins, made us righteous in God’s sight, healing of our bodies and gave us overflowing grace for every single day into eternity. 

Everything we need has already been given to us, all we have to do is take it by faith, because Jesus has already bought and paid for it for us. That’s good news!😊

We’re not waiting on God, God is actually waiting on us to believe and do what He says and take what He offers. 

Lord, thank You for Jesus and all He’s done for us. Amen.
