God being in control He could do whatever He wants to with this earth. He could make us into robots that bow down to Him on command. But He loves us so much He wants us to come to Him of our own free will. Praise God for that. In Isaiah 51:3-17 is a description of God as a healing God. He knows the desolation and waste that surrounds those that believe in Him, as well as oppressors, but He tells those people in righteousness that they are not to worry. And neither am I. I am not to worry about what can kill the flesh, but to concern myself with He that can add hairs to my head. He tells me that while I am on earth, real and true growth is in Him and to put all of my faith in Him. While all fades, He is forever.
God is such a wonderful God. He called and calls to those who are outcast (Isaiah 56:3-9) and all strangers that obey Him and wish to do His will. All are called to His mountain, if they come to Him and obey Him and wear the bridal clothes for the feast that Jesus described in Matthew (Matt 22:3-11). Even more resounding is the pep talk in Isaiah 60:1-19 not to give up on God, because His promises are true, and heaven awaits those who can hold out and stand firm in Him. God has always come through on His promises, may not on my time or other’s time but on His time which is more appropriate, more according to what we need. Above all, He promises a place of peace, of everlasting beauty, never going hungry, tired, thirsty, in pain, where there are no enemies or oppressors.
