Today we read Isaiah 41-43, and Ezekiel 4-5. We are reading about judgment, deliverance, and atonement. God is doing something, working to make the whole world, Israel, new and renewed. God’s judgment is not neglect or harm, the judgment is for their sake. I think back to the Garden of Eden, we cannot be close to Him, doing His full work, with Him forever without judgment, deliverance, and atonement. This story reminds us that He will not forsake us. He will overcome evil for our sake. And for His sake, He will blot out our transgressions. He will atone us so we can be close to Him as He designed.
