Isaiah 42:6-7: The Mystery of Wisdom – Part II
Wednesday, July 6, 2022
I am the Lord, I have called you . . .
The mystery of wisdom is that when we call on the Lord, we find the answer lying in our own response to God’s call to intimacy with goodness.
I will hold you by the hand and watch over you . . .
The mystery of wisdom is that when we take God’s hand, we discover that we are also called to extend our other hand to those who live in darkness.
I will make you as a covenant to my people . . .
The mystery of wisdom is that when we extend our hand to others, we have entered into God’s promise.
I will make you a light to the nations . . .
The mystery of wisdom is that when we enter into God’s promise, God’s light flows through and from us.
I will call you to open blind eyes . . .
The mystery of wisdom is that when God’s light flows from us, we begin to heal others.
I will call you to bring out prisoners from the dungeons . . .
The mystery of wisdom is that when we begin to heal others, we bring them forth from their prisons of fear, anger, anxiety and prejudice.
I will call you to bring out those who sit and wait in darkness . . .
The mystery of wisdom is that when we bring others forth from their prisons of darkness . . . we find ourselves standing in the fullness of God’s eternal, all-encompassing and nourishing wisdom.
Tomorrow, wisdom as promise and grace.
