Thoughts on Isaiah 51:1 ( Part 3 of 5)

"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..."

You who seek the Lord. It takes no scientist or devout Christ-follower to notice the God of all creation, to stumble upon the revelation of the existence of a creator. For is not all creation praising and worshiping God? Proof of His existence is everywhere. However, these words are not for the casual observer, they are for those who seek after God, those who seek the Lord. It is more than an acknowledgment, it is an exploration. It is the difference in seeing a person and having a conversation with them. Them who intentionally pursue the heart of God and desire to know Him and find Him. As multifaceted as a diamond so much more is the face of God and these facets cannot be revealed through simple observance but through persistence, through desire, through curiosity. And we serve a God who does not hide in pretense but honestly invites us: " You will seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. I will be found by you..." - Jeremiah 29:13-14b
