"I will cry out like a woman in labor, I will gasp and pant," Isaiah 42:14.
Who will? God. Jehovah God. Why? because God's straining for pagans to honor him. God's leading blind pagans into his light. God's calling deaf pagans to his voice. But why does God do this? because his chosen people will not see him. the people he crafted for himself will not listen to him. because the chosen turn from him to trust their handcrafted handicrafts. Pretty images. Shiny idols. So. A new song swells up to the end of the earth. Renewed voices everywhere answer to God's intense labor and praise him whose wonderful teachings show his goodness.
Visiting today with a brother or sister, we declare God's goodness who let us see Christ. And, together, we offer thanksgivings to God who birthed us children of his sky kingdom.
