Isaiah 29:5 ESV “But the multitude of your foreign foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff. And in an instant, suddenly…”
I stop at suddenly on purpose. You are welcome to continue reading if you would like, of course, but My point today is found in verse 5. This builds upon yesterday’s message. If you read Isaha 29:1-4 you will see that it distresses Me a great deal when My people, My chosen, My beloved are distant from Me for any reason at all, and there can be so many! It distresses Me and I long for the closeness with you that I desired when I created you. I created human beings to love and be loved by, to walk in the garden with Me and enjoy Me and for Me to enjoy you. It is really that simple! This verse shows that when other things get in the way of this simple desire to walk with each other, loving, loving each other, things like striving to earn My love, working to amass savings for wealth or safety, distracting oneself with excessive pleasure that never satisfies, or many other things, I allow them to come between us for a time because you have free will and choice so these “foreign foes” come wreak havoc on your life and our relationship, eventually showing you that they are empty and not satisfying…and at just the right moment I turn the multitude of foreign foes into small dust and the ruthless lies of the enemy – telling you all sorts of lies about Me and about life that detract from the simplicity of My creation and desire…these ruthless lies I turn to chaff. “And in an instant” …. I return you to a place of peace, provision, and rest in Me and in that moment, we have an opportunity to simply enjoy each other as though walking through the garden together I the cool of the day, simply enjoying each other’s company. And My heart soars with joy for you are My Beloved and all I want from you is your love and your presence. And then after a few moments of bliss, peace, rest, and each other’s presence, the things of this world, the foreign foes, the ruthless lies of the enemy begin to infiltrate again and they build and distract and build more until another “suddenly” and we get another moment together and My heart soars again, with your presence. If you want, you can step out of this cycle! Simply put being present with Me at the forefront of each day and the cycle is broken!
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for being so clear about the simplicity of our relationship. Even now I feel the foreign foes and the ruthlessness of the enemy pulling at me. My desire is what You desire – Your Presence with me. Make it so….Amen.
