Verse of the Day 5/5

Isaiah 64:1 (ESV) Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down
     that the mountains might quake at your presence—

 

Have you ever felt that way, that you wished the Lord would come to reveal Himself again?  For Isaiah it was a look back to His appearance to the people in Sinai when He appeared to Moses on the mountain.  He rallied His people, brought them together and then led them through the wilderness.

 

When we see the "chaos" all around us in society, the tumult and the disregard and actual contempt towards God it is easy to feel that way.

 

The verse and thoughts brought to mind the song "God of Heaven Come Down" - Robbie Seay Band

All things bright and beautiful You are  All things wise and wonderful You are  In my darkest night, You brighten up the skies  A song will rise    I will sing a song of hope  Sing along  God of heaven come down  Heaven come down  Just to know that You are near is enough  God of heaven come down, heaven come down    All things new  I can start again  Creator, God  Calling me Your friend  Sing praise, my soul  To the Maker of the skies  A song will rise  

 
God of heaven come down
Heaven come down

In Christ,
Mike

Isaiah 64:1-4English Standard Version (ESV)

64 Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,
     that the mountains might quake at your presence—
² as when fire kindles brushwood
    and the fire causes water to boil—
to make your name known to your adversaries,
    and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
³ When you did awesome things that we did not look for,
    you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
⁴ From of old no one has heard
    or perceived by the ear,
no eye has seen a God besides you,
    who acts for those who wait for him.
