The Time For Our Call To
Go Out, Is Now
Is. 58:8-14
Intro.: If we can understand that we can reach God
with our calls today. Just as Isaiah made it plain, we can and should reach
out to Him this day. Let us learn from the Word in Isaiah 58.
We know that God has ability to
shine through us - 8a
What a difference God makes through us
To the lost
To the needy
To the hurting
To the hungry
As our righteousness sends it
Not automatic
It takes effort and faith on our part
Our righteousness is thorough Him
Our righteousness is for Him
He will protect us (rereward) - 8b
In His strength
For His glory
To serve Him
To reach others
We also know God has the ability to
answer our calls - 9
We must call on Him
We need to see the need of others
We need to see and sense our own need
We need to have a desire for His help
We need to believe and trust in His ability
We must know He will answer (Here I am)
We need to reach out to others
Reach deep (draw out) even to the point it is
sacrificial
Help others that are hungry (physically and spiritually)
We will accomplish great things for
Him
Our light will do more than we can believe or
imagine 10a
Our failures will even be great 10b
We must let Him guide us
Always - continually
Hard times - drought
Good times - "watered garden"
To do good things -
We can repair problems
We can guide others
It tells us that those we reach will do these too
- "they that shall be of thee"
Ps - Thanks for giving God your time today! Vs.
