“Then he remembered the days of old, of Moses and his people. “Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put in the midst of them his Holy Spirit, who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to make for himself an everlasting name, who led them through the depths? Like a horse in the desert, they did not stumble. Like livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. So you led your people, to make for yourself a glorious name.” Isaiah 63:11-14 (ESV) ->me: These 4 verses are the Lord’s dialog back to Himself about the children of Israel after they have, once again, rebelled and therefore made God their enemy and they His. BUT!…He remembers…the days of old where He led them out of Egypt, took care of them in the wilderness with manna, quail, and water from the rock; delivered them from their enemies by leading them through the Red Sea and the across the Jordan into the promise land. Why? Why did He do this?? Because, it has been His plan all along to bring glory to Himself through His people. What the people can not do the Messiah would cover and cover for all the nations. I have not lived up to the dignity He would have for me but I am working today on my way to His sanctifying work in my life…Why? For His glory; for His design all along is to reveal His ‘name of beauty’, a task He will never desert.
