God offered some amazing things to His people in the Old Testament. Among the most amazing offers we can find in Isaiah, that huge and vital book of the Major Prophets.
Ask yourself how much of what God was promising to Israel, do we on this side of the Cross actually know by experience?
Isaiah 30:15 (NKJV) For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” But you would not,
Isaiah 48:18 (NKJV) Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Isaiah 58:13-14 (NKJV) “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, 14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
God was offering a life of quiet confidence, of peace that just keeps flowing like a river, of righteousness washing across life like endless sea waves, and a delight that makes our souls soar, as we are fed by God.
