04/09/2022 – Day 041 – Isaiah 29 – 33 – “For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll…” Isaiah 29:11 / Is this not where we are today in America with respect to God’s Word?
We also have a post from 07/11/2020 from our previous 365 day study.
I’ll let y’all read 29:11 in it’s entirety again. So yes, with the quagmire all around us, where do we start. I submit: Come together as brothers, face to face, pray and study His word, and then pray again. And from there, God will lead us to to the moment to moment answers as to how to engage the evil of this world. But, we continue to have a problem with step #1, do we not?

And recall, I said given a choice between God’s sovereignty and man’s free will, I will side with the former every single time. Look at Isaiah 33:1, it is an end times verse, if you will. What can I say: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” But God forbid I should decide to sit this out, keep my head down and just wait for the rapture. Hold that thought, as we complete our reading of Gideon and his army, vehicles for God’s miraculous deliverance. They were called to participate!
Here is John Gill’s excellent commentary on 33:1

Not easy, but with prayer, God will deliver us to complete our missions to His kingdom. And His kingdom includes here, where we stand, amidst the evil of this world. I don’t need to try to put all the pieces together, I just need to engage.
Soli Deo Gloria!
