Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 28
17 “I will make justice the measuring line
Isaiah 28:17 NASB 1995
And righteousness the level;
Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies
And the waters will overflow the secret place.
The Spirit of the Lord says,
A new day marked by justice is dawning in America. Righteousness and justice will be the plumb line. The quick roll up of justice will jolt people awake. They will see my justice roll up quickly, suddenly and powerfully like an uncontrolled window shade, and they will be left gaping in awe. They will be left staring out of a crystal clear window gazing on the truth.
21 For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
Isaiah 28:21 NASB 1995
He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon,
To do His task, His [v]unusual task,
And to work His work, His [w]extraordinary work.
My justice will seem to be powerful, swift and decisive. My justice has been hovering and working in the background for a long time. Much like the traps these wicked ones have laid for the innocent and the righteous, My justice will snap shut unexpectedly on the wicked. It will roll them up and reveal the truth as clear as day — as a clear picture for all to see. They will call it a roll up. They will call it swift, decisive justice. They will call it the hand of the Living God of Jacob, the hand of the Living God of Israel.
23 Give ear and hear my voice,
Isaiah 28:23-29 NASB 1995
Listen and hear my words.
24 Does the [y]farmer plow [z]continually to plant seed?
Does he continually[aa]turn and harrow the ground?
25 Does he not level its surface
And sow dill and scatter cummin
And [ab]plant wheat in rows,
Barley in its place and rye within its [ac]area?
26 For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
27 For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
Nor is the cartwheel [ad]driven over cummin;
But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a club.
28 Grain for bread is crushed,
Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever.
Because the wheel of his cart and his horses eventually[ae]damage it,
He does not thresh it longer.
29 This also comes from the Lord of hosts,
Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.
Watch for My roll up of justice. As you see it, you will be like Moses looking out on Mt. Nebo. You will be able to see — the people will be able to see — the Promised Land for the first time. When the roll up, the swift, decisive, unapologetic, unwavering roll up of my justice takes place, you will look out on the truth, you will look out on a great wide vista. You will be able to see the land that I have promised, the land flowing with milk and honey, a glorious land and a glorious city in which to dwell. My justice will clear the way for you to reach the Promised Land.
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord and believe He will execute His justice on behalf of the people and for His Name’s sake.
- Pray, Holy Spirit, thank You for hovering and operating to bring justice to us. We long for and we need Your justice. We want to participate where You want us to participate. We love You, and we are watching for Your mighty hand of justice to come to America.
- Declare, Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is the Lord of all. Nothing is impossible for Him. He is the God of Angel Armies, and He will execute justice on the wicked and bring true justice to the people.
- Decree, I will worshipfully stand in anticipation of the Lord’s sudden move of justice. I will glorify the Lord for the justice He brings, and I will celebrate as I see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I will look out with many on the great wide vista of truth and the land that the Lord has promised. I will see a way forward, and I will see and experience the place that He has provided.
