September 30, 2012 – Isaiah 59 and 60, Psalms 110 and 111

Isaiah 59 and 60 contain a wonderful description of the spiritual consequences of sin and how God chooses to deliver us from that sin. Our sins create a barrier between us and God. He can no longer see nor hear us. While we are deep in sin it is as though we are groping around in the dark. There is no peace, no justice. But God is displeased with this unrighteousness. He puts on the breastplate of righteousness and the helmet of salvation.  He comes into our darkness and shines His glory upon us. God reclaims us and makes us righteous again.

Psalm 110 is a Messianic psalm speaking of the work of the Lord as our high Priest, but also as our High King who executes judgment on the nations.

Psalm 111 speaks of the goodness of the Lord. He provides for us, redeems us, and is faithful and just.
