Fantastic Friday #295- Clear

Clear

3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 The fearful heart will know and understand,
and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
5 No longer will the fool be called noble
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For fools speak folly,
their hearts are bent on evil:
They practice ungodliness
and spread error concerning the LORD;
the hungry they leave empty
and from the thirsty they withhold water.
7 Scoundrels use wicked methods,
they make up evil schemes
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy is just.
8 But the noble make noble plans,
and by noble deeds they stand. Isaiah 32:3-8

I was watching a fire in an outdoor fire pit in 16 degree weather today and I saw something very interesting. When the heat rose from the flames, it created a very unclear effect on what I was looking at on the other side of the fire. But when the fire was gone, the view became very clear. Our lives are very similar to this situation when sin attempts to enter our life. When evil tries to enter our life, the reality can be distorted and can make us question what we should be doing. We need to keep a clear mind by following the path our Lord makes and avoid the scoundrels of this world that use everything in their power to make things unclear for us.

Have a great weekend.
