Finishing up the book of Isaiah tends to make me think of the difference in living with God and living without Him. All of this brings home a clearer picture of (as W.E. Vine says) “The folly, futility, and sinfulness of pursuing our own way, carrying out our own designs and turning after that and which God cannot take pleasure, instead of waiting upon Him, listening to His voice, and the delighting in the fulfillment of His Will. Through our walking with God, He fulfills, and will fulfill, all the promises of His word. He responds to delighted confidence in Him, by adding an Amen to His assurance. The peace of an obedient heart and a trusting spirit is that which enjoys the sunshine of His countenance and the calmness of holy communion with Him.”
22 “As surely as My new heavens and earth will remain, so will you always be My people, with a name that will never disappear,” says the Lord.
Isaiah 66:22
