Revelation
Why does God ask for 'strange obedience' in the Bible? - Isaiah 55:8-9 - Wed. Service
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU THINK
“Why does God ask for ‘strange obedience’ in the Bible?”
BIG QUESTION
Why would almighty God ever command something that seems strange, uncomfortable, or
illogical?
BIG TRUTH
God sometimes asks for unusual obedience to reveal deeper trust, guide His people into
dependence, display His glory, or teach through living pictures of truth.
KEY VERSES
Isaiah 55:8–9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares
the Lord.”
