"That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun that there is no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other; I will gird you, though you have not known Me." — Isaiah 45:6 (NASB)
In this world, whenever an organization selects someone for a job, there is always a purpose behind it. No organization provides employment to anyone without a purpose. Furthermore, that organization will offer various forms of assistance to help us carry out this work.
Similarly, if God has chosen us in this world, revealed Himself to us, and is leading us, He has a purpose for it. Today's meditation verse highlights exactly that: "That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun that there is no one besides Me."
He has chosen us so that people from the rising of the sun to its setting may know that our Lord is the true God. If we are to make Him known to others, it is essential that we live a life of witness. It is for this very reason that He revealed Himself to us, even when we were living a life without knowing Him.
Today’s meditation verse does not merely stop at saying He revealed Himself to us; it goes on to say, "I will gird you." Girding signifies strengthening us. He has not only chosen us so that people from the rising of the sun to its setting may know Him, but He has also strengthened us to reveal Him to others. That strength is the Holy Spirit.
We cannot proclaim Christ to this world in our own strength. We cannot make Him known to the world simply by attending church without fail, participating in prayer meetings, giving tithes, or helping with church construction work. Beyond all of this, we need a life of witness. Unless the Holy Spirit comes inside us and we live a life of witness, we cannot reveal Christ to the world.
That is why the resurrected Christ said to His disciples:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." — Acts 1:8 (NASB)
Yes, the power of this Holy Spirit is our "girding." Only when He comes within us can we live a life of witness and cause people from the rising of the sun to its setting to know Him.
Yes, dearly beloved, not only did He reveal Himself to us when we did not know Him, but He has also given us the Holy Spirit as our girding strength. If we want to live gratefully toward Him, it is essential that we live as fulfillers of the purpose for which He chose us.
Since it is only through our life of witness that we can proclaim Him to the world, let us live a life worthy of Christ in both our speech and our actions. Only then, as today's meditation verse declares, will people from the rising of the sun to its setting know that there is no other God besides the Lord.
