Today's Reading:
Isaiah 59
Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so short
Isaiah 59:1-3
That it cannot save;
Nor is His ear so dull
That it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His[a]face from you so that He does not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken falsehood,
Your tongue mutters wickedness.
The Spirit of the Lord says,
I’m chasing down truth. I’m digging it up. I’m unearthing it from the ground, and I’m placing it in the paths of men and women. People will simply happen upon the truth as they are walking along the path upon which I have set them. They will seem to stumble upon the truth in their normal, typical walk; and these truths will tell a different story. These truths will have a life of their own. These truths will be dynamic, seemingly self-propelled entities; and as they are lifted up, as they are acknowledged, they will stir up storms of their own. What had laid dormant — unseen, unknown, unacknowledged — will suddenly become a self-propelled force of nature. Truth will stir things up. Truth is stirring things up.
4 No one sues righteously and no one pleads [b]honestly.
Isaiah 59:4-8
They trust in confusion and speak lies;
They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch adders’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a snake breaks forth.
6 Their webs will not become clothing,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And an act of violence is in their [c]hands.
7 Their feet run to evil,
And they hasten to shed innocent blood;
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,
Devastation and destruction are in their highways.
8 They do not know the way of peace,
And there is no justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
Whoever treads on [d]them does not know peace.
I have placed truth in the hearts of men. I have placed truth in the hearts of women. And we are walking into days where truth will not only be unearthed by My hands and placed along certain paths for certain people to discover. Truth will sprout uncontrollably from the ground as grass. It will sprout, and as it grows, it will sing. The truth will not be silent. The truth will sing its story to the world. The efforts of wicked ones, liars and thieves to silence truth will prove futile. They will now be the ones living the whack-a-mole lifestyle. Where they were the ones perpetuating lies, plaguing the faithful and the truthful ones with lies and scandals to address and stomp out, now the liars will be plagued with the truth. And it will be millions and billions of tiny pieces of evidence and truth — just as blades of a grass in a field in spring. They can not mow them all down. They cannot stomp them all out. Millions upon million, maybe more blades of truth will surface. They will sing the truth, and they will cut like knives.
14 Justice is turned back,
Isaiah 59:14-20
And righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.
15 Yes, truth is lacking;
And he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw,
And it was [g]displeasing in His sight that there was no justice.
16 And He saw that there was no man,
And was astonished that there was no one to intercede;
Then His own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His righteousness upheld Him.
17 He put on righteousness like a breastplate,
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing
And wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle.
18 According to their[h]deeds, [i]so He will repay,
Wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies;
To the coastlands He will [j]make recompense.
19 So they will fear the name of the Lord from the west
And His glory from the rising of the sun,
For He will come like a [k]rushing stream
Which the wind of the Lord drives.
20 “A Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,” declares the Lord.
The truth will cry out. As it is unearthed, as it breaches the barrier of earth and atmosphere, as it comes into the sunlight — the truth will sing its own distinctive song. The chorus of truth will be deafening to those who have lied, to those who have tried to keep many inconvenient truths buried for years and even decades. The truth is sprouting up all around them even now — big truths I Am unearthing with My own hands for men and women to stumble upon. This is a reckoning of truth. These are days where the truth will cry out from the ground. The truth will sing a chorus, and millions of individual songs will be heard across the land as truth rises in an unstoppable way. The truth will overtake the lies. The truth will far overgrow the lies. Soon the liars and the wicked and the thieves will be trapped in what seems like a cornfield maze of truth. Everywhere they turn is truth. They will find no way out that doesn’t surround them in truth and lead to truth. The truth will be their end.
