"LOOK TO THE ROCK FROM WHICH YOU WERE HEWN!"
"Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the LORD, look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug" (Isaiah 51:1).
Isaiah's exhortation to Israel was a common sense plea to go back to the point of origin in all things pertaining to a proper relationship with God. We all know the analogies: "The fruit does not fall far from the tree;" "as is the mother, so is her daughter" (Ezekiel 16:44), "Where there's smoke, there's fire," "You will know them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:16).
What lessons can we learn from Isaiah 51:1?
1. God made man in His own image (Genesis 1:27) and man needs to strive to live a life that honors and glorifies his creator! (Ecclesiastes 12:1).
2. In matters of worship there must be a common denominator we can always refer to in order to know we are doing right. That source is God's holy word (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
3. We need to see ourselves as God's temples, God's dwelling places. "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Cor. 3:16) God doesn't need a glass of beer or a cigarette or a chew of tobacco in His temple. If He wants one He will get it for Himself!
4. Sheep don't wallow like pigs. A newborn lamb saw some little piglets playing in the mud and asked his mother if he could join them. It looks like such fun! Mother's answer teaches volumes: "Sheep don't wallow!" "Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord" (2 Cor. 6:17).

FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE?
James 4:14 says, “… For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” Perhaps one of the most difficult concepts for any of us to grasp is that one day our life on this earth will come to an end. Even though we may know what the Bible says about death being an appointment by God we won’t miss (Heb. 9:27), and even though we’ve witnessed the passing on of loved ones – still, it’s hard for us to conceive that one day we will die. We prepare for retirement one day, as if certain we will live that long. We even plan to watch a certain show on television, or buy tickets ahead for a ball game or plan a vacation without even considering we might die before our plans are realized.
It’s not necessarily that we are unaware of death – there’s too much evidence of it all around us. It’s not that we doubt God – if we believe His Word about Heaven, how can we doubt its teaching on the certainty of dying? So, it’s not so much that we “don’t believe in” death, but rather that we aren’t ready for it and don’t want it to happen. We just kind of put it aside as something to be considered when we are “old”. But “old” is relative. When I was designing bridges for a living, everyone in the office was older than me. Some were really old – about thirty or thirty-five, to be exact. To a teenager, twenty-five is “really ancient”. To a young child, a teenager is an “old person”. I am now in my sixties and no doubt comparable to Methuselah in the eyes of some. But you know what? I don’t feel any older than I was twenty or thirty years ago. As well, I still plan to do things next week, next year, in the next several years, just like I always have. Death isn’t something I expect to happen in the next “little while”. So – when does a person get “old” enough to give proper consideration to death?
No matter how long we live on this earth, our years fly by. It seems only yesterday that I was about to graduate from high school with starry-eyed plans to become a doctor. That was better than forty years ago!!! The point being, that our life is as a vapor (or puff of smoke), and we don’t know when death is going to overtake us. Many young people die, just like older folks, not even suspecting their “time” was so close. Even though the elderly are closer to its inevitability, they aren’t planning on it being today or tomorrow – and many would be surprised by it.
Because of its certainty, then, age has nothing to do with being prepared for death. It could happen to us anywhere, anytime, at any age. Consequently, we need to live each day as if it were our last, well aware that how we live will determine our eternity (2 Cor. 5:10). If the Lord wills, we will remain alive and do what we plan. It may even be that we’ll have time later on to obey the Gospel, or return to faithfulness, or to grow in the Lord, as we have been purposing for some time.
But maybe not .. We can’t continue to take chances that we’ll have time. We cannot depend on not dying tonight, or tomorrow, or next year. “Now” is all we have to put our lives in order before God. Don’t waste it.
