God's love for his city and his people stand out in Isaiah 62. His people reminisce about the past days in Isaiah 63:11-14 and question God concerning his relationship with their enemies (63:17-19). Isaiah is not saying that God made the Israelites sin (v. 17) but rather that He allowed them to stray off course. Even though no one is righteous (64:6) and no one seeks God (64:7), God is still in the process of forming something good (64:8). It is ok to question God on things you do not understand (64:12). However, it is not ok for the clay to be bitter with its Maker (45:9). Are you experiencing conflict with God? As you talk to the Potter, keep in mind that you are his clay.
Paul constantly kept in mind who he was before he met Christ (I Timothy 1:12-17). It is important that we always remember where we came from. This is the benefit of having a personal testimony to share with the world. People can argue against many things but it is very difficult to argue with one's personal testimony. This is especially true for those who knew who you were and how you acted before you met Christ. How long has it been since you shared your personal testimony?
