Following the promise of grace (Isaiah 55:7),
we have this great declaration by the Lord, “’For My thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘As
the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your
ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.’” (Isaiah 55:8-9). God’s grace is so great that it will continue for all eternity (Ephesians 2:7). The God of grace will be triumphant over all His enemies (Psalm 110:2).
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).
