Isaiah 62:12

"And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken."
Isaiah 62:12


Literal or symbolic, or both... this is good stuff. :)  I think all of us want to be sought out and not forsaken. :)  One of the themes that I see throughout the scriptures is the idea of being chosen... a chosen people, a chosen person.  I think we all want to be significant in the great scheme of things... not necessarily capital-letter Powerful or Rich or Famous... but significant.  And I think that this scripture is about that.  We set ourselves apart when we are committed to the Lord's cause... which, really, is just to show other people how important *they* are, and help them to be happy. :)  Our fidelity to the Lord makes us significant... and powerful incidentally, since when we have established that link with God consistently, then we can draw upon his power to do whatever we need to do.  And, maintaining that link with God is what guarantees that we will always be sought out and not forsaken.  We could never be alone or unnoticed when God is there with us.  Today, let's work on our link with God, strengthening it and not letting anything threaten to sever it.
