Yesterday’s post ended asking, “What does it look like to seek the Lord?” There may be the beginnings of an answer in Isaiah 66:2 – 3. Take a moment to read those and note the central contrast.
Here is the contrast I saw there:
It seems that there is a binary choice here. Either one chooses to follow God’s Word or they choose to follow their own way. So it seems that a key component to seeking the Lord is a commitment to humbly and contritely engage with the Word of God so that it creates a deep respect for Him. That seems to indicate a life pattern not something that is not one and done.
| The one to whom the Lord will look | The one who is looking to their own ways | |
| Humble | VS | Chosen their own ways |
| Contrite of Spirit | Their Soul delights in their abominations | |
| Trembles at God’s Word |
