“…they shall call on my name, and I will hear
them: I will say, it is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.”
Zech 13:9
“it is my people:” not only by creation
as the rest, but by devotion and worship, by predestination and infusion of
grace, by singular Providence, by mutual love. As an infant child cries out for
their mother, the human soul that cries for the Lord is heard above and beyond
any other. The ear of a mother can
decipher, above a room full of cries, the voice of her own and claim her child
as hers. In the same manner a child can be calmed by a touch or a softly spoken
word from their mother, which comforts them in the assurance of unconditional
love. The promise of the Lord will make us aware that we are His special, peculiar
and covenant people; and as He called His people out of Babylon; He will answer
your call and deliver you from any bondage by bestowing His favor upon you; and
by granting His presence with them, as well as by the witnessing of His Spirit
(Rev 18:4 & 19:1),
and you will know Him as Savior, and claim Him, and acknowledge His as such;
which is the greatest happiness that can be enjoyed (Psa
144:15 & Rev 21:3).
That
which brings forth light; must endure burning.
HSAY…Todd
