Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord:
Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn,
And to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
Where am I going?

Look Forward- What is right to do
Look Up- What are God’s Desires and Wants, What is God doing?

And unto Sarah that bare you:
For I called him alone,
And blessed him, and increased him.

II) What am I waiting for? (Vs 3-5)
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah,
Judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
For the Lord shall comfort Zion:
He will comfort all her waste places;
And he will make her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the Lord;
Joy and gladness shall be found therein,
Thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Waiting for the Lord’s Return

Waiting for his comfort
Waiting for his joy and gladness
Giving thanks and Praise while waiting
Thanking him in advance
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself,
And opened her mouth without measure:
And their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp,
And he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
Hearken unto me, my people;
And give ear unto me, O my nation:
For a law shall proceed from me,
And I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
Waiting for the Lord’s Direction

My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth,
And mine arms shall judge the people;
The isles shall wait upon me,
And on mine arm shall they trust.
Waiting on the Lord’s Deliverance

Seeking the salvation and deliverance of God
Waiting on his vengeance and judgment
Waiting on God to provide for needs

What am I waiting for...

III) What am I afraid of? (vs 6-8)
Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
And look upon the earth beneath:
For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke,
And the earth shall wax old like a garment,
And they that dwell therein shall die in like manner:
But my salvation shall be for ever,
And my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Isaiah 51:6
Fear of Material Loss
Fear of Material Loss
The Spiritual is the Eternal
God’s Righteousness is Eternal
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness,
The people in whose heart is my law;
Fear ye not the reproach of men,
Neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment,
And the worm shall eat them like wool:
But my righteousness shall be for ever,
And my salvation from generation to generation.
Fear of Man

The Reproach of men
The Reviling of men

That hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

They shall obtain gladness and joy;
And sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
