“Oh yes, people of Zion, citizens of Jerusalem, your time of tears is over. Cry for help and you’ll find it’s grace and more grace. The moment he hears, he’ll answer.” (Isaiah 30:19, The Message)
God to his people through Isaiah. Cry out for help and what you will receive is grace and more grace.
Salvation comes in dependence. God's people will receive grace when they cry out for help, in other words, when they acknowledge their need of help.
This is one of the odd characteristics of God's kingdom. Help comes in dependence. Strength in weakness. Wealth in giving. Peace in the midst of tribulation and suffering. God's kingdom is a strange kingdom indeed.
