Howdy :), it's me, Joe Cosity here!
When Jack was employed at his denomination's headquarters,
it was customary for all employees to pause for prayer each
morning at 9:00. A "prayer bell" signaled the beginning and
ending of this daily routine.
Occasionally, though, employees would find themselves on the
phone during prayer time, and the entire office, now quiet,
would overhear their conversation.
One morning during prayer time, a co-worker named Paul could
be heard in the office, shouting, "Hello? Hello? I can hear
you. Can you hear me?"
After the ending bell, I overheard someone else comment, "I
think Paul's having a hard time getting through to the Lord
this morning."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Do you ever have difficulty getting through?
Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot
save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your
iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your
sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with
iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath
muttered perverseness. None calleth for justice, nor any
pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies;
they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he
that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed
breaketh out into a viper. Their webs shall not become
garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their
works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of
violence is in their hands.
Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent
blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and
destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they know
not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have
made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not
know peace.
Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice
overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for
brightness, but we walk in darkness. We grope for the wall
like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we
stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate
places as dead men.
We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look
for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is
far off from us. For our transgressions are multiplied
before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our
transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we
know them.
In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing
away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth
afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity
cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from
evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it
displeased him that there was no judgment. And he saw that
there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor:
therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his
righteousness, it sustained him.
For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet
of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of
vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to
his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands
he will repay recompence.
So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and
his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall
come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a
standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion,
and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith
the LORD.
As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My
spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in
thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the
mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed,
saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever. -Isaiah 59:1
I'm glad you could join me for today's content, and I look
forward to bringing you more next time!
Until then, bye-bye!
Joe Cosity
