59:1
The root of Israel’s problem was that they did not think that God could save them, so they looked to other gods and to making alliances with godless nations. This is a problem that we can all have. But “the arm of the Lord is not too short to save”, “nor His ear too dull to hear”. God knows exactly what is going on in our lives, and He is well able to rescue us. These are fundamental facts that we need to base our lives and worldview on.
59:2
So why wasn’t God rescuing Israel? It was because their sin had separated them from God. The same applies today. God gets blamed for an awful lot, but the truth is that it is our sin that has separated us from God. Our biggest problem is our sin, and God’s prime concern is to deal with that problem in our lives.
