18 – Days of Old - Isaiah 63:17-19
This work of literature continues with the
story of Israel and the kindness of the Lord.
Isaiah states in a form of question and prayer. Why is the Lord making us wander away from
your ways? Why is our hearts harden and
we do not revere or fear you? He then
prays that for the sake of His people and servants help them to return. Israel is His inheritance.
Isaiah sees that they have the privilege
of possessing the land and building a temple.
It had become the holy place of the Lord. Now the enemies have trampled the
sanctuary. Isaiah’s heart is broken as
He prays. He reminds the Lord that as a
nation they are His from ancient times.
Unfortunately, because of the people’s rebellion the Lord has not ruled
over them and they have not been called by His name. Let us never get to that place.
