For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him

 Isaiah 30:18-33

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to youtherefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Then you will desecrate your idols overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold; you will throw them away like a menstrual cloth and say to them, “Away with you!”

He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful. In that day your cattle will graze in broad meadows.

See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar, with burning anger and dense clouds of smokehis lips are full of wrath, and his tongue is a consuming fire.

The Lord will cause people to hear his majestic voice and will make them see his arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloud burst, thunderstorms and hailThe voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria; with his rod he will strike them down.

Why?

The love and righteousness of the Lord exist at the same time. 

Bless are those who wait for him! Don't worry or run over the way of the Lord. When we listen we may hear the voice of the Lord "This is the way; walk in it". How wonderful God's way to me!

Weather and resource is ready for us, for all who obey the word of the Lord.

On that day God will come down with raging anger and consuming fire. For God is rightousness and fill of love to those who obey his commands.

18-26:審判後的醫治

耶和華必然等候,要施恩給你們:人應該等候神,人忙自己的事,所以神等候人要把恩典給人。凡等候他的都是有福的。不管審判多麼辛苦,神施恩後,神要教導人,重新學習神的指示,做人該做的。為了把偶像丟掉,不是先把金銀刮下來,而是一併丟掉,這要下決心。例如家中去除偶像,一切桌子、偶像等全部丟掉,不丟則失去的會更多。

你將種子撒在地裡:這是人該做的事情。天氣改變接著土地會豐收,牲畜所吃的也經過調配,各高山岡陵必有川流河湧:以色列土地通常是光禿的地,如今卻有溪流。不再有黑夜,全地光明。

27-33 神要審判亞述。神的百姓卻要歡樂。陀斐特在耶路撒冷南方,被以色列人用來把人獻祭的地方,把原來神厭惡以色列百姓的地方變成消滅亞述的地方。

How?

Rejoice and calm down, listen to the word and voice of the Lord.
