Be Who God Is Looking For

Note from today’s Bible reading: Isaiah 64-66; 2 Kings 20-21

God is the almighty creator of the universe. Because of this, He said, “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? For My hand made all these things, thus all these things came into being” (Isaiah 66:1-2).

Since God made all things, He does not “need” anything from us. Even though we may want to offer something to honor Him, He is not dependent on us.

However, there is something that He desires. So He continued, “But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word” (Isaiah 66:2). In other words, God is looking for those who will humble themselves before Him and have enough respect for His word that they will do what it instructs them to do. No matter who we are, we can do this if we are willing to be the people God wants us to be.

So be who God is looking for. Recognize your place before Him, and do not think more highly of yourself than you ought to think. Instead, look to the word of God and obey His will in all things.
