Description

In Isaiah 65 & 66, God says He has been ready to respond but no one was asking for help and ready to be found but no one was looking for Him. He is crying out "Here I am, Here I am" just waiting for each and every one of us to seek Him and ask Him into all the moments of our lives. He opens His arms to us in our rebellion and He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for us when we were rebellious enemies of God. He loves each of us that much. He makes Himself available to us, we just have to choose to look up and see Him, hear Him, and submissively listen to Him. No matter what, He says to not let anything shake us from our faith in Him. We can choose to stand firm in our faith and not be shaken by anything in this very temporary world. Eternity is coming no matter what and Hell is very real. A new heaven and new earth will be restored and everyone will see God's presence and power. The wrath of God and judgment is coming. The faithful remnant will experience the amazing glory and goodness of God and those who rebel and refuse to turn to God in repentance will experience His wrath. God is a consuming fire. We can choose to be on the side that experiences His wrath or the side that worships Him with all our heart, soul, and mind. We can choose Jesus. We can choose life. We can choose forgiveness, mercy, grace, restoration, righteousness, and glory. God is right here with His arms open, saying "I am here, I am here!"
