God's Reasoning

Come now and let us reason together,” says the Lord. Isaiah 1:18
This part of this verse in Isaiah seems today to be taken out of context. Many would suggest that we can reason with God, as if we were equals with God. For the theological liberal this verse means that since we created the idea of God, we are free to assume that we can reason with our creation. This verse doesn’t say that. We are not equal with God and cannot reason on His level.
What God is saying is that have a need and if we will listen to His wisdom we will know His grace. His wisdom knows and declares that we are sinners for He adds, “Though your sins be as scarlet.” Then He gives His gracious promise, “They shall be white as snow.” Repentance and faith will bring cleansing from sin. That is God’s message and He is simply declaring that He knows what we need and will provide it. That is reasoning on God’s terms. He is in control and He alone can make the offer in this arrangement.

Dear Father, Help us to listen to Your wise reasoning and obey. Amen.
