Meeting God

Isaiah 44.24-45.13    Esaie 44.24-45.13



“I am the Lord,” declares God. Jerusalem has been destroyed and her inhabitants are in exile in Babylon, surrounded by cynics and stargazers. But God is sovereign and has a promise of renewal, to breathe life into a scattered people and to rebuild a ruined city. And not only this, but he will achieve it through the man who has been their oppressor, King Cyrus.

God’s calling to Cyrus is rich in impressive imagery, and the promise of help and reward. But it is also mixed with a more intimate message: “It is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who call you by your name.” Cyrus was perhaps the most powerful man in the world at this time. Whether we are rulers of nations, servants in the temple or shepherds in the wilderness, God knows our name, and by it calls us into relationship with him.
