Hey,
so, I've been reading Isaiah quite a bit lately. I'm at that stage in my Bible reading plan where I have procrastinated reading the prohets and now that's all I have left. >.< They are so good, but I'm supposed to have read like 4 chapters a day, which is quite daunting.
Anyways, Isaiah is pretty sweet.
33:13-16
"You who are far away, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge my power! The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling grips the godless: "Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?" He who walks righteously and speaks what is right, who rejects gain from extortion and keeps his hands from accepting bribes, who stops his ears against plots of murder and shuts his eyes against contemplating evil--this is the man who will dwell on the heights, who refuge will be the mountain fortress. His bread will be supplied, and water will not fail him."
I can only imagine that the bread and water are those of life. The bread of life and the living water. When we satisfy ourselves in Christ, we are truly satisfied and have no need to resort to plots of murder, contemplating evil, and all gains from bad sources.
33:2
"O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress."
Amen.
D.Fa
