If our god is a distant and unknown one, then how do we even know we have the right god?
The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said,
“Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do,
and don’t live in dread of what frightens them.
Make the Lord of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life.
He is the one you should fear.
He is the one who should make you tremble. (Isaiah 8:11-13)
Live like this - fear the Lord and not man! Isaiah is showing us what we should and should not be doing - how we should and should not live. We have to know our God to follow properly, and we have to spend time in His Word to be able to teach others.
Preserve the teaching of God;
entrust his instructions to those who follow me.
I will wait for the Lord,
who has turned away from the descendants of Jacob.
I will put my hope in him. (Isaiah 8:16-17)
Do you hope in One you don’t even know?
