51:1
There has just been a word to those who want to go their own way. Now there is a word to those who want to go God's way. It can seem impossible to go God's way, we look at ourselves and think there is no chance we can manage it. The fault with this sort of thinking is that we are putting our focus on ourselves. Here God tells us where we should be looking. First He points us to how God works, and His plans are never based on our goodness nor abilities. To demonstrate this He calls on us to look to Abraham and Sarah.
51:2
It is worth noting that both Abraham and Sarah are mentioned here. God's plan was to bless and multiply Abraham. However, there was a problem, Abraham was just one, with no prospect of children. Humanly speaking there was no way the plan could succeed, hut succeed it did. That happened because of what God did. We need to understand that God's plans and promises are founded on what He does and will do.
