Surprised to See Wonder Here

And the Lord said: 

"Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, 

and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men, therefore, behold, I will again do wonderful things with this people, with wonder upon wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”

Isaiah 29:13-14

It was unexpected.

Question

How are 

you these 

strange days?

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, 

all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isaiah 26:3

Dwell

You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! 

Isaiah 26:19b

Eyes Open

Let's stay amazed.

What makes a cucumber climb?

How does it know up?

Hear, O Israel:

The Lord our God

The Lord is One.

Be Thankful

Where to Stand

Don't stand in both places, just in the light.

from Isaiah 43

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43:1b-3:a
