“‘You are my witnesses,’ declares the Lord, ‘and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me’” (Isaiah 43:10, NIV).
A few days ago, I was listening to Isaiah 43 by audio Bible. I was listening both with my physical ears and my spiritual ears. Suddenly, Holy Spirit breathed on the above verse, Isaiah 43:10, highlighting it to me. He whispered to me, “Your Father God wants to be known! That is what He is expressing here.”
Holy Spirit went on, “He is revealing Himself out of His longing that we would ‘know and believe and understand’ who He is. When He says, ‘You are my witnesses,’ it’s because He wants you to witness Him. He wants you to behold Him. He wants you to see Him, to perceive Him for who He really is; what His nature is like, what His heart is like.”
My spirit was so blessed by what Holy Spirit was communicating to me. I went to make a note of it on my phone. Before I even got it typed, though, I remembered another Holy Spirit inspired nugget that I wanted to email to a friend before I forgot. Pausing to do so, I opened my Gmail app. Immediately, a devo caught my eye there that had been sitting in my inbox for several days. I opened it. To my great joy, I found the following:
“It feels so good to be known. One of the most wonderful feelings we experience happens early in a romantic relationship when chemistry is discovered with the other person. You find the things that you have in common, and that person is captivated by all your unique qualities. You reveal things about yourself and are rewarded with warm feelings of validation. This is the experience of becoming known.
“Imagine how our infinite God must feel, to know every little thing about us, to love us completely, but we know almost nothing of Him. How great His delight must be to disclose Himself to the one He holds dear, to be discovered and loved by the one He loves. This just might be His favorite thing. To discover Him in the secret place is to give Him exactly what He wants.” *
Wow! How amazing is Holy Spirit, to immediately confirm what He is speaking to us in creative ways like this! I was bubbling with joy, to Continue reading Witnessing God
