—Isaiah 62:1-7
by: Jean Jorgensen.
Are there inactive members of your church? Do you find yourself bemoaning the loss, chatting with God about it, then waiting on “stand-by” for God’s miracle? Isaiah is saying that because of our former love for these members, we must not remain silent. Instead, we should give ourselves “no rest, and give Him no rest” (Isaiah 62:6–7, NIV) until the members return. Then your church will be “…a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand” (Isaiah 62:3–4, NIV). No longer will the neighbors call you deserted.
