—Isaiah 30:15-21
by: Jerry Johnson.
I am amazed at how patient God is with us, both as individuals and as nations. Israel repeatedly attempted to obtain favor through carnal means such as military might. The Lord patiently waits for us to return to him. In a sense we are supposed to wait on him as well, having a confident trust that transcends circumstances. Many of us face the “bread of adversity” because we do not listen to sound teaching. Again, the Lord is patient and gracious. After a period of judgment for disobedience there is an opportunity for repentance and rest.
