Isaiah 64 (NIV)

1 Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains would tremble before you!
2 As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake before you!
3 For when you did awesome things that we did not expect,
you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.
4Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.........Continue Reading

  1. As this prayer continues it seems it leaves us wondering why would God help us when we are such a mess. We come before Him like “filthy rags” and He knows our heart so we can’t hide anything from Him. Even the good we do can be clouded by pride and wrongful motivation so why would help come to our aid? But we are also the clay in the potter’s hand and He cherishes His work and loves us unconditionally! Thank you Lord for your mercy, forgiveness, and love!

  2. This passage reminds me of God’s power and might and also his goodness. I have realized that it is better for me to just yield to these truths about him, than oppose them and go my own way.

  3. God’s power, righteousness and authority are recognized as well as the sinfulness of the people. What is left to do then to confess, repent and ask for mercy. Which is exactly what happens in this chapter. We are all a lost cause without Him, and yet with Him we are made complete, guided in the path we should go and empowered to be the people He calls us to be. It is unfortunate that they and us are often unfaithful in the presence of all this. And yet we ask for mercy and remind God of His promises to us, not based on who we are, but based on God’s faithfulness to what He has said. It doesn’t need to leave us wondering because He is true to His word.

  5. We are a sinful people who desperately need the Lord.

    In the end, the wicked will run and hide from God’s wrath.

    Even though there is none righteous, there are those who long for the Lord’s appearing. We long for the Lord’s appearing.

    “He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
    Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” – Revelation 22:20

  6. Verse 1, “that you would tend the heavens and come come down that the mountains would tremble before you”, verse 3 ” that you did awesome things we did not expect”
    My take on this chapter- though we are sinners we realize that we need God
