Worship into the Week-
Isaiah 29:11-19
Jerusalem knew how to talk the spiritual talk,
but they were living a double life.
Their hearts were far away from God.
Knowing a person's heart is God's territory.
We can try by looking at the whole story of
someone's life, but even that is limited.
Here Isaiah is speaking of the great
spiritual blindness of
the leaders of Jerusalem.
They have access to God's Word,
but don't understand it's meaning.
How is that any different from
the leaders in our world?
Empty lip service to God.
Or perhaps the created begins to think
it is greater than the Creator.
Or that they can hide their plans
from the potter.
They do their works in the dark.
Not transparent.
But, then there is a shift.
Isaiah begins to tell of a fruitful land
where the deaf hear and the blind see.
The humble finally experience joy
in relationship with Lord.
God's mercy shines through the story
of redemption.
