August 1 ... Isaiah 18 - 21 "The Master's calling for a Day of Repentant Tears"

Isaiah 19:19 God has scrambled their brains.  I wonder if God is doing that work this day?

Isaiah 21:1  Baffled by what I hear, undone by what I see. Absolutely stunned, horror-stricken ... my evening has turned into a nightmare.

Isaiah 21:3  You Looked, but You Never Looked to Him... and in the midst of the shouting, you said:  'Let me alone.'  'Let me grieve by myself.  Don't tell me it's going to be allright."  You looked and looked and looked, but you never looked to him who gave you this city, never once consulted the One who has long had plans for this city.

Isaiah 21:13 The Master called for a day of repentant tears.

"My failure to 'get it' troubles me.  Others' failure to 'get it' troubles me.  That's good.  Untroubled people have closed ears.  Only troubled people hear My Story of Love.  Repentant tears.  Lifestyle repentance.  When was the last time I repented?

  2. I have hit rock bottom over here in Florida and ask for your prayers that I may hear God speaking to me as I deal with my own stuff.
