There's more in Isaiah 30 for us to ponder this week.
Thank you to a GFF (Gospel Friend Forever) for writing our blog this week.
You may want to print this out for easier studying and writing.

Isaiah 30
Isaiah is warning Israel of a coming judgement because of their wickedness. He pictures their rebellion as fleeing away on wild horses until as a result they are left on a mountaintop like a flagstaff. The result - aloneness. Where are you feeling "alone" this week?
But how gracious God is to give us the answer for the heart that runs from Him. (Are you running down the wrong side of the chart?)
Reflect on these descriptive words and further references. Read in context of whole chapter.
Repent/Return to Him
Psalm 51 - Pray through this picturing your Father running to you as in the Prodigal son story.
Rest in Him
Psalm 46:10 - "Jesus, I am resting, resting . . . "
Be quiet
This must involve time alone! Make it a priority.
Trust in Him
Psalm 27:13
Wait for Him
Psalm 27:14
Cry to Him
Psalm 34 (notice numerous references to calling or crying to Him)
The rest of chapter describes the result of the grace of God as we turn to Him away from our idols.
Make a list of these wonders! My favorite is that we will defile our idols by saying "Be gone!"
Close your time by listening to this amazing song sung by Jimmy Needham. Sounds like he has done Idol Addiction!
