Reading for July 15th

Read Isaiah 59.1-8. In 59.1-21: Why God's face is hidden. In verses 1-8: God's salvation has not come, not because God is weak and powerless, but because the people's wrongdoing creates a barrier between themselves and God (vv. 1-2). The rebukes (vv. 3-8) condemn violence, injustice and brigandage, whether arising from the lack of any recognized authority to implement justice, or whether because those who wield power in Jerusalem are themselves the chief culprits.
