I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me

Isaiah 65:1-16

I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’ All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations.

who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me, for I am too sacred for you!’ Such people are smoke in my nostrils, a fire that keeps burning all day. “See, it stands written before me: I will not keep silent but will pay back in full; I will pay it back into their laps.

I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains; my chosen people will inherit them, and there will my servants live. Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for my people who seek me.

I will destine you for the sword, and all of you will fall in the slaughter; for I called but you did not answer, I spoke but you did not listen. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me.

Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the one true God; whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the one true God. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes.

Why?

The Lord shows himself to us, no one can know the Lord by his way. For the love of the Lord upon us.

Even though the Lord called people to come to Him, many are still pursuing their own imaginations.

Our Lord is full of love and righteousness. To those who still walk in ways not good will be smoke in God's nostrils a file that keeps burning all day.

Actually whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the one true God. There is one true God only.

How?

My God is the true God who created this world and us. His love endures forever. I will praise His Holy name in my life.
