Context — Israel’s Stubbornness
6You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.
7They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’ 8You have never heard; you have never understood; for a long time your ears have not been open. For I knew how deceitful you are; you have been called a rebel from birth.Cross References

Isaiah 48:6 Summary
[Isaiah 48:6 is a call to acknowledge the things God has done in our lives, and to be open to hearing new things from Him. This means recognizing and accepting the ways God has worked in our past, and trusting Him for our future, just like in Jeremiah 29:11, where God says that He has plans to prosper us and not to harm us. When we acknowledge God's work, we can trust that He will continue to guide and direct us, and that He will reveal new and hidden things to us as we need them. By acknowledging God's work and trusting in His plans, we can have confidence in His goodness and love for us, as written in Romans 8:28, where it says that all things work together for our good.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'acknowledge' the things God has done?
To acknowledge the things God has done means to recognize and accept them as true, just like in Isaiah 48:6, where God asks if we will acknowledge the things He has declared to us, similar to what is written in Jeremiah 32:17, where Jeremiah acknowledges God's power and might.
Why does God tell us about new and hidden things?
God tells us about new and hidden things to reveal His plans and purposes to us, as seen in Isaiah 48:6, and to help us trust in Him, just like in Proverbs 3:5-6, where we are encouraged to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding.
How can we apply the concept of acknowledging God's work in our lives?
We can apply the concept of acknowledging God's work in our lives by reflecting on the ways God has worked in our past, like in Isaiah 48:6, and then trusting Him for our future, as encouraged in Psalm 37:3-5, where we are told to trust in the Lord and do good, and to commit our way to Him.
What is the relationship between acknowledging God's work and hearing new things from Him?
Acknowledging God's work and hearing new things from Him are closely related, as seen in Isaiah 48:6, because when we recognize and accept what God has done, we are more likely to be open to hearing and receiving new things from Him, as also written in John 10:27, where Jesus says that His sheep hear His voice and follow Him.
