 Oct 15 – Don’t Grieve the Holy Spirit - Isaiah 62:7-10

 

     Isaiah then begins a time of prayer and praise.  He will tell of the goodness of the Lord and the things for which He is to praise for.  Especially for the things has done for Israel.  The Lord is compassionate and kind.  He will bring back his people and help them to be true and recognize that He is their savior.  In their distress He was distress and that His angel of His presence saved them.  Isaiah is reflecting on the time the nation was in the wilderness and had the personal guidance of the angel of the Lord. 

     The Lord in His mercy and love He redeemed His people.  He lifted them up and carried just like the days of old.  They however rebelled and grieved the Holy Spirit.  So, He turned and became their enemy and He Himself fought against them.  There is many warning about quenching or grieving the Holy Spirit.  This is one thing that a believer must be careful of.
