I was reading Isaiah
5 and saw in verse 26 this morning where Isaiah said God would whistle and the
nations would come running. The context is one of judgment against Israel for
her sin, but I want to zero in on the powerful word picture of the Almighty
whistling and whole nations of people coming running like dogs summoned by
their Master. Woah! What power!
This reminds me of
that passage in 1 kings 17 when this same God told the prophet Elijah that He had commanded the ravens to provide for
him. Commanded them! Later, He said He commanded a widow to provide for the prophet
when the brook Cherith dried up. The widow didn't even know the prophet was
coming that day, which means God calls a thing done even before it's done.
The centurion understood this same idea in
Matthew 8:8 when he told Jesus, "You don't have to come to my house, just
say the word and my servant who is sick will be healed." Jesus applauded
him for his faith.
Faith is the wind on
which God whistles.
What about you? Do
you need God to whistle and command something to happen in your life? He is
able!
You're probably
thinking, "Why should God whistle for anything to happen on my
behalf?"
Answer: Because He is the One who invited you
to invite Him to do it! He said, "Call unto me,
and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest
not. " (Jeremiah 33:3)
What are you waiting
for?
Ask the Father to
work on your behalf and listen for the whistle.
