REMIND YOUR PEOPLE

 

 

Oct 20 – Remember Your People - Isaiah 64:7-9

 

     The problem that the prophet sees is that no one at the time is calling on the name of the Lord.  The reign of Manasseh were dark times.  No one is striving to get a hold of God.  The results it feels like the Lord has hidden His face from them.  He states a sad thought.  The Lord has given them over to their sins.  Paul made the same statement in Romans when he said God gave them over to reprobate minds.

     Isaiah reminds the Lord that Judah is the clay and He is the potter, and they are the work of His hands.  He asks the Lord not to be angry beyond measure and not to remember their sins forever.  As he prays he asks the Lord to remember that they are His people.
