Do anything to me, just don’t leave me the way I walked through the door!
We hope this is your prayer as we meet together today. We hope to never live such comfortable lives around God that we start to miss the things he is doing and saying among us. The LORD challenged the people this way in Isaiah’s day,
You have seen many things, but have paid no attention; your ears are open, but you hear nothing.
Isaiah 42:20
And the LORD still speaks to us today saying when necessary,
I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die…
Revelation 3:1-2
Is there anything that can still move you to tears and to prayer?
Never imagine that God has forgotten you or abandoned you or rejected you! How could God convince you of that? And how then would you respond to him? The LORD describes his passion for you in this way,
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! 16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands‚Ķ
Isaiah 49:15-16
