Thoughts for the Journey

"Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: 'I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go.'"  Isaiah 48: 17

Read that verse again.......No really, go ahead and do it, I'll wait...........
Do you think God wanted them to know who He is?  You think He is wanting to get their attention as to who is speaking to them?
He used 4 different expressions to say who He is! 
1) The Lord, Jehovah, the National name of God for His people, meaning Eternal
2) Redeemer, meaning 'next of kin', 'to purchase or ransom', 
3)The Holy One of Israel, The Sanctuary
4) God, Elohim, the Supreme God
Put it together, God is reminding His people that He is their eternal God who redeemed them from Egypt, so that He, the Supreme God can be their Sanctuary, their dwelling place.  What does God have to do to get your attention?  Remember as a child, when your parents wanted to get your attention, they would call you by your full name!  Instead of God calling you by your full name, He calls us by His name, reminding us exactly who He is.  He is the Eternal God of the Universe, who purchased us by the shed blood of His son Jesus, so that you and I can find our security and rest in the Only Supreme Authority of the Created Universe.  He reminds us who He is so that we will listen as He directs us in the way we should go!  Is God trying to get your attention?  Reflect on the many different ways God has shown Himself in your life the past couple of weeks. 
Now, pause, and take time to reflect and listen to Him......No, really, go ahead and do it.............
​He's waiting!
