I am doing a verse by verse study in Isaiah 59. I am on verse one...it started today. 😅😋 So, I wanted to share some scriptures I was led to concerning this one verse. It is amazing, how I can get a many paged document to show so much scripture off of one verse alone. New Testament and Old. I love How God can take one verse and make such connections for the day, the hour, the week, the season...for every season. Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. Bible Hub References for this scripture:

Numbers 11:23 The LORD answered Moses, "Is the LORD's arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass." Isaiah 50:2 Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst. Isaiah 58:9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry out, and He will say, 'Here I am.' If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and malicious talk, Isaiah 65:24 Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear. Jeremiah 14:9 Why are You like a man taken by surprise, like a warrior powerless to save? Yet You are among us, O LORD, and we are called by Your name. Do not forsake us! Jeremiah 32:17 "Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You! Ezekiel 8:18 Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. Although they shout loudly in My ears, I will not listen to them."

Concerning above, I find it pertinent that God already knows what we will say, before we say it. Go back to Daniel 4 with Nebuchadnezzar. The words were still in His mouth, and even after the warning...

28All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29At the end of the twelve months he was walking about the royal palace of Babylon. 30The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?” 31While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! 32And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven [j]times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.” 33That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws. Now, look at the scriptures above, there is one that speaks and attests to this clearly in Isaiah:

Isaiah 65:24 Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear. So, when we look at Psalm 139: Note here that God knows our thoughts before hand, He knows our movements before we move them, He knows our words, before we say them.

Psalm 139:

1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3You [a]comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. 5You have [b]hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.

7Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?

With this in mind, take it to heart and mind, soul and spirit...What you think and dwell on, will eventually come out of your mouth or in your actions, which could lead to your discipline from our heavenly Father, and rightfully so...He is a good Daddy God. A wonderfully good God. Isn't it important to consider what you place in your eyes and ears?

Isn't it important to guard your mind and hearts? They are but a moment from both angles from your mouth. The mind controls your body and your heart controls your mind.

So...pay attention to whom you allow into your mind, what you allow into your mind, and how you tend to your mind and heart. This will lead to either folly or blessing. Your choice always.

Different Gears:

With a different perspective, consider this as well, you...as a believer in Jesus Christ are doing what you can to avoid the fleshly temptations...yes?!?

Well, what do you do when you are caught off guard.

Ephesians 6:10-20

10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [b]wiles of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [c]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. So, as you read this and consider...

guard your mind and heart through prayer and supplications.

According to the words above, from Isaiah , Jeremiah, and Ezekiel...Also consider

James 4: 7-10 7Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

God is not far, and will listen if you reach out to Him... but remember what one verse says in those, He will help if you repent from your fleshly ways.

Isaiah 58:9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry out, and He will say, 'Here I am.' If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and malicious talk,

If you won't repent and humble yourself before our Almighty God:

Ezekiel 8:18 Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. Although they shout loudly in My ears, I will not listen to them."

It may require you to throw away the idols of this life, distractions that decay your mind...and focus solely on God's will for your life...rather than on pleasures that do not last. Build the rewards in heaven...Pray for God to guard your mind...2 Corinthians 10:5

...the obedience to Christ Jesus is simply this....obedience to His word, because He is the Word. Read the word...then...you will know.

Amen. Shalom and God bless all of you readers. Please visit my telegram page. I have announced that I am beginning to make bible study groups for online.
