For this is what the master, the LORD, the Holy One of Israel says:
"If you repented and patiently waited for me, you would be delivered;
if you calmly trusted in me you would find strength,
but you were unwilling, . . .
[and you said, "No!" . . . therefore you shall flee . . . till you are left . . . like a signal on a hill.]
For this reason the LORD is ready to show you mercy;
he sits on his throne, ready to have compassion on you.
Indeed, the LORD is a just God;
all you wait for him in faith will be blessed.
For people will live in Zion;
in Jerusalem you will weep no more.
When he hears your cry of despair, he will indeed show you mercy;
when he hears it, he will respond to you.
The sovereign master will give you distress to eat
and suffering to drink;
but your teachers will no longer be hidden;
your eyes will see them.
You will hear a word spoken behind you, saying,
"This is the correct way, walk in it,"
whether you are heading to the right or to the left.
~Isaiah 30:15-21~
A lot to take in! Thankful for His mercies.
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for his mercy. It is never as easy to walk in His way as it seems.
