God's heart

In Isaiah 65:1-3:

The LORD says,
"I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help.
I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me.
I said, 'Here I am, here I am!'
to a nation that did not call on my name.
All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people.
But they follow their own evil paths
and their own crooked schemes.
All day long they insult me to my face
by worshiping idols in their sacred gardens.
They burn incense on pagan altars."

And thus was God's heart for Israel. God was so ready to save them from their enemies but not even one called out to Him. God so wanted to reach out to His people, but they had forgotten Him and turned toward other gods. Let us not make the same mistake. Let us know God's heart for us. When in times of trouble, let us seek and call to Him.
