23 Oct 2014; Isa 1

Yea, I started on the book of Isaiah, but has not been able and seriously get it moving.

I have been very distracted. By my works - the unfinished project. But it should not stop me from spending time with my savior, my God.

I am going to have a long day today and the next 2 months it will be going to be full. I pray that I will draw strength from you.

Isaiah 1: 21-31
The prophet lamented that Israel has become corrupted, even to the extend of getting bribes, murder and rebel. There is a sense of lawlessness and the country was down down down.

BUT

Therefore the Lord declares, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Ah, I will get relief from my enemies and avenge myself on my foes. I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy. And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.” (Isaiah 1:24-26 ESV)

First, it is the need to get rid of what is external, then the internal, and finally the replacement of what is being remove.

What cause my stress, my busyness? My project is there a need to? Once a while and one at a time or at least customized and proposed what has already been accomplish. It is not that the Lord has not provided. But it seem to stem from the need to "earn more" to "prove more" and to "create more".

Internally I need to remove - the release of the emotions in me. Help to to be able to speak and talk it out, else that social being of me cannot grow.

Lastly I need to replace what is remove, but before replace - action first about remove. I pray for the timeline - by next Mar 2015 - the external stress. By June 2015 the internal emotions. And that I can start to replace and fill them with God intention. Amen.
