"My hand founded the earth and my right hand set the skies; when I call they both stand up," Isaiah 48:13.
Can you imagine that? God calls, and sky and earth arise together in his throne room. Wow! They know their maker. God calls, so mountains and hills stand as his witnesses. God calls, and inanimate rocks shout out their maker's praises. God calls, and living nature, trees, clap their hands to honor their Creator. God calls, unimaginably powerful monstrous beings testify of their God's holiness. (Getting pretty crowded in that throne room ... but, then, it's larger than space itself ...) In the cool of the day God calls on Man (and Woman) ... but where are they?
We believe Jesus, our Man, heard God's call, he showed up, he obeyed the Creator to the end, through the end, and beyond the end. So with a brother or sister today we affirm by faith our standing in that throne room with the rest. And together we join praise to our Maker's grace.
