“HE DOES NOT HEAR!”

 Isaiah 59:1-2

    “[1] Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,

        or HIS ear dull, that it cannot hear; 

    [2] but YOUR INIQUITIES have MADE A SEPARATION

        between you and your GOD,

    and your sins have hidden HIS face from you

        so that “HE DOES NOT HEAR”.”

Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD, wasn’t identified as a “condition” when I was a kid.  If it were, I would have probably been on mega-doses of medicines for not paying attention to whatever was before me!  My condition might not have been corrected with medication, but it WAS corrected!!!  A belt, a switch, sometimes a board was used to “treat” my illness!

Identifying “SIN” and its cause can be challenging for some people, as they are basically “good people” that avoid all of the socially recognized things that others seem to accept as “bad”.  However those “bad things” aren’t what SEPARATES us from a HOLY GOD, but a heart that is unregenerate, that hasn’t been CHOSEN by HIS LOVE!  

JESUS was sent from Heaven to live the LIFE that could not be lived by ANYONE ELSE out of HIS LOVE for us!  We can make excuses for SIN until we are blue in the face, but until our EYES ARE OPENED and we RECOGNIZE that we are SINNERS, we will be SEPARATED from HIM.  Recognizing that WE NEED A SAVIOR WHO has overcome death, hell and the grave is our only hope for eternity.  

“HE DOES NOT HEAR” our bargaining sessions where we CLAIM that we will DO BETTER!  “HE DOES NOT HEAR” us turning over a new leaf!  JESUS says in Matthew 22:12 “For many are called, but few are CHOSEN.”  HE HEARS who HE CHOOSES to hear!  I’m so BLESSED to be HEARD by THE MASTER!!!
