Let God Speak for Himself
(Part #1)

Read Carefully and see the prayer at the end.
(Isaiah 59:1-15 NIV)

Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,
or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;

2 but your iniquities have made a separation
between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you
so that he does not hear.

3 For your hands are defiled with blood
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies;
your tongue mutters wickedness.

4 No one enters suit justly;
no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.

5 They hatch adders' eggs;
they weave the spider's web;
he who eats their eggs dies,
and from one that is crushed a viper is hatched.

6 Their webs will not serve as clothing;
men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
and deeds of violence are in their hands.

7 Their feet run to evil,
and they are swift to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
desolation and destruction are in their highways.

8 The way of peace they do not know,
and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked;
no one who treads on them knows peace.

9 Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not overtake us;
we hope for light, and behold, darkness,
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

10 We grope for the wall like the blind;
we grope like those who have no eyes;
we stumble at noon as in the twilight,
among those in full vigor we are like dead men.

11 We all growl like bears;
we moan and moan like doves;
we hope for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far from us.

12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you,
and our sins testify against us;
for our transgressions are with us,
and we know our iniquities:

13 transgressing, and denying the Lord,
and turning back from following our God,
speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.

14 Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.

15 Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him
that there was no justice.

Comment: There are many great people living and speaking the truth. The world at large will not open its eyes and ears to the Author of eternal truth. Save yourself and your household. God will save the world. We will see that in the next edition of FaithWalk in Action.

A prayer: Dear merciful heavenly Father, You have clearly revealed the sins of my nation, and of my heart. I confess the stubborn areas of my heart that have refused to obey You. Forgive my sins according to Your promise and bring Your grace upon my household. Open the eyes and ears of our hearts. Bring us to repentance and obedience that we may glorify Your power of redemption. I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Always remember, Immanuel: God is with you!

Your friend,
Ron
