June 3, 2010 – Isaiah 30

This is really two different readings from what I can see.  The first part is about Israel turning to Egypt for help and the second is God pleading with them to just turn to Him.  I really could just see God looking at His chosen people on His knees asking them to make the right chooses.  He list off the great things that will happen for them if they would turn to Him, trust in Him.  But they cannot see it.  They see human strength in the strength of Egypt and turn from God.  And God warns them that this strength will fail.  What do we put our faith in.  Even when it fails over and over again, do we find ourselves looking at worldly things for our dependence.
