Isaiah 27
In Job 41 God basically challenged Job saying that if you can't take on the Leviathan, you can't take on God. Here, in Isaiah 27, God makes quick work of this creature. God can do awesome things. He destroys the gate keeper of hell with the sword and conquers death in 3 days with His Son.
God, though, doesn't do these things to show His power, He does these things so that we can be free to live lives worthy of the gifts that we were given. We can be briers to stand in the way of God's work, or we can be the fruit of the vine that creation feeds off of.

This is what God had to say to me this morning, "Cling to me for safety, find a good and whole life with me, hold on for a good and whole life."
ReplyDeleteIsn't that all we really want? A good and whole life.
How do we get on that slow track? The last verse tells us, "Come and worship God on the holy mountain (or rock as it were)."
Setting myself aside and focusing on God will allow me to be privileged to bear fruit for the kingdom.
