“For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant, and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this” (Isaiah 37:32).
In a time when many people are turning away from the Lord, God is
still preserving His own people for Himself. He keeps us for Himself so
that we might be used by Him to bring others to Him. In response to
His revelation, we are to preach His Gospel among the Gentiles (the
unbelieving world) (Galatians 2:2), so that they, with us, may “exalt Him in the assembly of the people ...” (Psalm 107:32).
What God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: "Hear my prayer, O God, listen to the words of my mouth." We must call upon Him with faith: "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me" (Psalm 54:2,4).
