Isaiah 9: Passionate Commitment
Consider: Isaiah 9
One thing that gets me excited is when the Word highlights part of God’s personality. If you weren’t aware, He does have personality. He isn’t just the cosmic operator in the sky.
Isaiah lays out a prophetic word in chapter 9. This is a very popular passage as this is where we have listed the various titles of Jesus: “Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (see Isaiah 9:6).
A line in this passage that is passed over many times when the above Scripture is read is the end of verse 7. Check out what it says:
“The passionate commitment of the LORD Almighty will guarantee this!”
We have a guarantee that is based on the passionate commitment of the LORD.
But think about it. The LORD did not have to put this in the Scriptures. It has already been establish in other portions of Scripture that “He is not a man that He should lie”. So just His simple Word is guarantee enough. Yet He throws in His passionate commitment to let us know how He feels about this topic of Jesus coming to save the day.
Rest in the fact that our God is passionate, He is passionately committed to Jesus ruling and reigning and He is passionately committed to His relationship with you (see also Exodus 34:14)!
