God is there for us, even when we are not there for God. God says, \u201cI responded to those who did not ask, I was at hand to those who did not seek Me; I said, \u2018Here I am, here I am,\u2019 to a nation that did not invoke My name\u201d (v.1). God tried; we didn\u2019t. But God was still there; God is unconditional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God is inevitable. God\u2019s people have sinned in all manner of vile ways. Their punishment is certain, their collective sins all known to God, the consequences inescapable. God does not forget; God is inevitable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God is optimistic. \u201cDon\u2019t destroy it; there\u2019s good in it,\u201d says God (v.8). God does not forget, which means God also remembers the good. God will see that good, cherish that good, nurture that good, cause it to flower. The people and the land will flourish; God is optimistic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God is unprecedented. God created the universe from nothing. Now God says (v.17), \u201cI am creating a new heaven and a new earth; The former things shall not be remembered, they shall never come to mind.\u201d If the first creation was unprecedented, this second re-creation is too. The world will be utterly changed, for the better: God\u2019s chosen people will live long, joy-filled lives, full of accomplishment and blessing. God is unprecedented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God is unconditional. \u201cBefore they pray, I will answer; While they are still speaking, I will respond.\u201d (v.24.) God won\u2019t wait for us to reach out. God is there for us, anticipates our needs, and especially when we are able to seek out God\u2019s aid, God will proactively reach out to us. God\u2019s love for us is not limited to the joy that we feel in our lives. God\u2019s love is the response to our prayers, the answer to our cries; God is unconditional.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br
