Isaiah 18

It only took 1 minute to read this chapter. Have you ever considered how God moves? The Almighty, Creator, Lord of the Heavenly Army moves in whispers. In verses 4 & 5 the Message decribes God's movement with these words; "Quiet as warmth comes from the sun, silent as dew during harvest." Surely the Maker of the sun's warmth knows how to move his hands with the same ferocious love? Can we doubt that the One who sends the dew couldn't cover the globe with the same persistence? Very often that is how God moves; ever present, noticable yet unrecognized. Does God move in stealth? No. But our sinfulness has blinded us to the sights and sounds of his presence. Isaiah points out that it is through his providence that God brings judgement as well as freedom.
