—Isaiah 42:5-9
by: Jennifer Lewis Berg.
God wants His people to remember His strength and might. He wants us to know that He is the one responsible for all we have, for our very lives. Because of that, He knows what is best for us and which direction we should follow. He has a plan and it is important that we keep our eyes focused on Him and trust Him. He literally wants to take our hands and bring us into righteousness, because He knows that is the only way for His plan to become a reality. We cannot do it alone because we get distracted and self-centered. God’s ultimate goal was to create a “covenant people” who would then go forward and lead all others on earth to Him. They would bring light to the blind and free people held captive in sin. Now, we Christians are a part of that covenant as well. We must remember that God is still in charge.
