- And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16 – Notice that phrase “These are the things I do.” If you ever wondered what God does for us, this verse answers that a little bit. He takes those who blind and confused about their path by the hand and leads them in new directions they’ve never been but need to go. He turns all darkness into light so we can see clearly. He turns the rough parts of life into smooth and through all this He promises not to forsake His own till He’s taken them to where they need to go. That’s what God does. That’s just who He is. Let’s praise Him today for being that way and wanting to help us like this. Use this passage as well to help someone who doesn’t really know who God is and what He does to know.

- Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see! Who is blind but my servant, or deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is blind as my dedicated one, or blind as the servant of the Lord? He sees many things, but does not observe them; his ears are open, but he does not hear. Isaiah 42:18-20 – Here we see God speaking of His people Israel. They were deaf and they were blind. Not physically, but spiritually. They were seeing many things of God, but they didn’t actually take them in. They heard many things from God, but they didn’t actually listen to anything. We too can find ourselves with eyes and ears, but not seeing and hearing. Where God is displaying His power and love in front of us, but we aren’t actually seeing it. Where God is speaking to us through His word and His church, but we aren’t listening to what He is saying. Let us be different than that of the people in our passage. When God moves, let us not only see but be looking for it. When God speaks, let us not only listen but be expectant for His word to come. Not only will we have a posture of obedience to the Lord, but a longing to be obedient to our Lord. Be sure then today you are finding yourself in the word, in prayer, and under the teaching of the church so you can be receiving from the Lord in every avenue you can.
