Isaiah 52

It took me about 3 minutes to read this chapter. Verses 11 and 12 remind me of the story in Luke 4:23-30 of Jesus close encounter with death in Nazareth. Those he found himself surrounded by those he had offended Jesus ended the story by walking away from the bad trouble. That is the same situation Isaiah is describing in these two verses. And why can the righteous walk away from evil? Because God is their powerful and vigilent rear guard. We may find ourselves in situations that threaten us, in one way or another. God can lead us out of that circumstance. When we follow him out I believe that he will enable us to walk away in peace. He will grant us that.
