Isaiah 65:1 - Finding God by accident

Old testament reading on June 24 07 at Mt Olive - Isaiah 65:1


NIV: I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me.

NLT: People who never before inquired about me are now asking about me. I am being found by people who were not looking for me.


Thoughts:
  • How amazing that God puts himself in our way so that we stumble across him and find him. I personally am blessed that it happened to me.
  • Who would know God if he didn't reveal himself to us on purpose? Would we ever actively seek him if we had never known about him?
  • Are we seeking something when we stumble across God, or does God just pop up in our way and we stop and take notice?
  • Is it in our human nature to seek? Is it inevitable that we come across some one or some thing to identify with?
  • Why is it that some refuse to believe or have a face to face with God? Is the reaction a void? Or is it a face to face "I see you, but I don't believe you exist" reaction?
