“For,
behold, I have refined thee, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.”
Isaiah is talking about the trials of the House of Israel, but it is easy to
relate, for we have many afflictions. “I
have chosen thee,” is an important place of contact with God. He has chosen me to fulfill my life in ways
that brings honor to him and to my posterity, also my ancestors who have been
cheering me on. “He” is my “Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.” He makes this promise, “O that thou hast
hearkened to my commandments—then had thy peace been as a river and thy
righteousness as the waves of the sea.”
I want this for me and my family.
This motivates me to keep his commandments.
