Isaiah 29 - Day 516 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Isaiah 29:13-14 Commentary: God does not reveal himself the same way in all seasons. The Vision reveals God’s strategy and intentions to its readers. But the generations portrayed in The Vision were blind to the implications just as 6:9–11 predicted that they would be. Even the Scriptures were meaningless to them. God recognizes the sorry state of religion which is only lip worship, the repetition of learned phrases. Truly “the fear of Yahweh” is not only the beginning of wisdom, but also the foundation of worship which involves the heart. Holy awe leads to genuine devotion. Yet God in his grace determines to do more “wonders” for this people, miracles which defy prediction or explanation. The ways of God can neither be confined nor limited. Watts, J. D. W. (1985). Isaiah 1–33 (Vol. 24, p. 386). Word, Incorporated. Application: In spite of our hypocrisy and half-hearted worship, God will reveal His true self and have the last word. Prayer: When Lord? When will You come again to restore all things in Your glory? Comments are closed.
