Isa 45:8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
Isaiah 45 is
an interesting chapter that reveals how the Lord uses the world events, the
people, to achieve His purpose. It shows us that no matter what, whether be
good or bad in our eyes, the Lord is in charge. We may not like it that we are
just one of the dots that when connected fulfill the purpose of God. But when
we know the love of God for us, perhaps we are willing to accept the unique
purpose and role that God has created us for though this role may be minor in
our own eyes.
The key verse
in Isa 45 is verse 8,
Isa
45:8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let
the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth
salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created
it.
It is the fulfillment of the Lord's
prayer Mat 6:10
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as
it is in heaven.
When the righteousness from heaven
meet up with earth receptive heart, it will bring forth the fruit of salvation
and righteousness.
This is exactly what Jesus, the Son
of God, did for us. He came from heaven. But His work is only completed when we
open our heart to receive Him, the righteousness of God, so that we are
transformed and rebirth again in salvation and righteousness.
God has created that we should all
be saved and bear fruit of righteousness on earth. We are his righteousness
bearing good fruit on this earth. The time will come that the earth will be
transformed into heaven-like.
May we be willing to give ourselves
in to this transforming process of bring heaven on earth or making the earth
heaven-like with His righteousness.
