Reading Isaiah 30, 31
My verse: "Ah, "stubborn children," declares the Lord, "who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin." 30:1 (ESV)
Isaiah goes on to warn against seeking aid from the wrong places, closing our minds to truth. He further spells out how the results or consequences of our waywardness "comes suddenly and swiftly, in an instant." And yet . . .and yet our Lord "will not hide Himself anymore. . ." v. 20 He loves us so and will stll be there to help us come back to Him if we would listen. "And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it." v. 21
Oh, Lord, how I need to shut out the clamor of the world so that I might hear and recognize "that still small voice" - Your Voice, seeking to guide me, teach me, and grow me. And that I will not be fearful of obeying You when I do hear your Voice. You tell me, as I often need to be reminded, "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." 2 Tim.1:7
Thank you, Lord, for your continual blessed guidance. Thank You for that sweet voice, "This is the way, walk in it."
