FOLLY OF SIN

 

July 21 – Folly of Sin -

Isaiah 42:18-25

 

     Israel is described as blind and deaf.  He equates the messenger and servants of His as blind and deaf

To the agreements that have been made.  God keeps his side, but His people don’t.  They are blind to

What is seen and deaf to what has been presented.  The law is a delight to the Lord.  His righteousness,

Glory and greatness make the law what it is. 

     The problem is that people are trapped in prisons, dungeons, and hidden places. They are plunder,

Booty, and loot.  No one can rescue them, free them, and send them back.  The reason they are in this

Condition is because of their sin, and it was the Lord who sent there because of that.  Sin is a trap

And prison.  They have sinned, not follow His ways, or obeyed them.  When the Lord punished them

They still did not understand, and they did not take heart.  The folly of sin is that it blinds you to truth

And freedom.
