[Discoveries] 06-26-08 Reasoning with God -- Isaiah 1:18

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. -- Isaiah 1:18*/

Where does this invitation come from? It comes from our God.

What do we learn here?

1. Our God is reasonable. His demands are reasonable. He may demand 
everything, but our thimbleful of everything cannot be compared to the 
ocean of what He gives back in love.

2. Our God listens. You can't reason with someone without listening to 
them. God will listen to all our fears, apprehensions, difficulties, 
objections -- if we are willing to listen to His reply to them. He is 
gentle and shows us the picture we were never able to see before.

3. Our God wants to deal with us directly. Do we have a problem? God 
wants to hear about it from us, and He wants us to hear His reply. You 
can walk away disappointed from a meeting with man, but God will never 
disappoint you.

I want to thank my good friend, Missionary Bill Sutter, for pointing me 
to this verse -- an excellent word for all of us.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
