Make it Glorious!

LENT--DAY 24

4/5/2011

Isaiah 42:14-21 (NRSV)

God will heal the blind

For a long time I have held my peace,
I have kept still and restrained myself;
now I will cry out like a woman in labor,
I will gasp and pant.
I will lay waste mountains and hills,
and dry up all their herbage;
I will turn the rivers into islands,
and dry up the pools.
I will lead the blind
by a road they do not know,
by paths they have not known
I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I will do,
and I will not forsake them.
They shall be turned back and utterly put to shame --
those who trust in carved images,
who say to cast images,
"You are our gods."
Listen, you that are deaf;
and you that are blind, look up and see!
Who is blind but my servant,
or deaf like my messenger whom I send?
Who is blind like my dedicated one,

or blind like the servant of the Lord?
He sees many things, but does not observe them;
his ears are open, but he does not hear.

The Lord was pleased, for the sake of his righteousness,
to magnify his teaching and make it glorious.
