Isaiah
"Listen to Me, O house of Jacob"
Text: Isaiah 46:3
LISTENING TO THE LORD
The house of Jacob had not listened to the LORD for the longest time. Thus, they had gone astray from God. The people had become “a remnant”. Nevertheless, the LORD sought to reach out to them!
“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
Who have been upheld by Me from birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.”
