- There is a sense of urgency in this passage, as God invites everyone to enter into his promised blessings. God implores us to “seek the Lord while he may be found” (see verse 6).
- “Come … come. … come.” Jesus also urgently calls come (see John 7:37–39). This is all one needs to do in order to find mercy in God. When do you hear God’s call to come?
- Verse 5 addresses the glorious son of David, the messianic servant, through whom God attracts the nations, bringing history to its appointed consummation. Also see Romans 1:1–5.
- Verse 8 talks about how God’s thoughts, insights, and plans are far beyond human comprehension. When has there been times when you simply did not understand what was going on or why things were happening the way they were? Did you still trust that God knew what was going on? Anything right now in your life that you need to trust God
Prayer
Focus: That you would come to God with your ears wide
open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with
you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.”[1]
