CONSEQUENCES

 

Sept 26 – Sin’s Consequences - Isaiah 59:1-3

 

     Isaiah reveals something about the Lord and His view of the present generation.  Isaiah of course lived through the reign of five kings.  He saw the reign of 3 godly kings and two ungodly kings.  He was finally killed by Manasseh the son of Hezekiah.  He says surely the Lord hand is not so short that he cannot save or his ears so dull or deaf that He cannot hear. 

     The problem is that the iniquities of the people have separated them from God.  Sin is doing wrong and evil.  It is an active force in mankind.  It is part of our DNA.  It causes us to hide our face from Him.  It causes Him not to hear when we call to Him.  The hands of the sin are stained with blood and fingers are covered in guilt.  This is the action of sin.  The attitude of sin is expressed in how we talk.  Lies and wickedness are spoken.
