“Do you see what is uppermost in this man’s mind [Isaiah’s] as he represents all of us in the church of God? Uppermost in his mind is the steadfast love of the Lord." For people of the Old Testament, “what delighted them was the Lord’s kindness, …even when they were being disciplined.” “The business of the church is to recount the steadfast love of the Lord.” “A mega-church gets as many people as possible together. It cranks up the energy. What’s it doing? It’s trying to reproduce something that has been lost to the church…. What have we lost? We have lost the feeling sense of the Presence of God, which you don’t have to work up, because it is there, because God is there by his Spirit.” “If you fall, if you find yourself coming to the edge of the precipice, and you feel as if, in your life and experience, there is nothing for you to clutch onto, nothing for you to get a grip of, he will never let you fall utterly, irredeemably and finally.” Isaiah 63:9; He carried them all the days of old. “Isaiah is reflecting on the past saying: Do you know, he was with them leading them, he was with them caring for them… by my Holy Spirit, I am never away from you. I cannot help myself but be with you all the time, in every moment, in every circumstance. To the very end, I will never leave you are forsake you. This loving Father pities his children. That the gentle pity that spares them, lifts them and carries them. This is our God.”
