Isaiah 42:10-25

Isaiah 42:10-25

Israel would experience great and inexplicable deliverance from the LORD. The only response to God when He performs great acts of deliverance in our lives is that we would sing a new song. Israel sang the song of Moses when God delivered them through the Red Sea. In heaven there will be new songs being sung. And when Jesus Christ returns, defeats all His enemies and establishes His eternal kingdom, the response of all will be to sing a new song.For us today, God is constantly working on our behalf. We would not survive a second without God. All we have been delivered from, all we are today and all we will ever be is because of God. Our justification, sanctification and glorification are all by the grace of God. It is all of grace.When we become obtuse refusing to hear what God says and to see the way that God has set before us, God, in His love and faithfulness, will chasten us. God chastens those who He loves. All who belong to the LORD can be certain that when we refuse to hear, when we refuse to listen, that God will chasten us. The chastening of God does not seem joyful. In fact, it is painful. Yet it will yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness in our lives.

Chapter 42
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?
20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
