Isaiah 59:9-17 -- It doesn't look like paradise

There are days when we hope for sun and get rain
There are days when we hope someone will defend us but they don't
There are days when we think we're blind and feel like we can't see any more than a blind person
There are days when we growl like a a bear and mourn like doves
There are days when we hope for justice and victory but they escape us

Lord,  have we sinned and turned against you?
Father, have we rebelled and refused to follow you?
Have our hearts been deceitful?
Have we planned to abuse others and turn our backs on you?

Is this our picture?

  • Injustice seems to be everywhere
  • Truth is chased out of the court
  • Honesty is shoved aside.
  • Everyone tells lies;
  • Those who turn from crime end up ruined.
When the Lord noticed that justice had disappeared He became displeased!  (Father, please feel this nation with justice, mercy, love and integrity)
The Lord was disgusted that no one would do a thing about it...so He won victories for truth.

Justice was the Lord's armor; saving power was his helmet; anger and revenge were His clothes
