Apprentice 2 Jesus

“But this is a people plundered and looted;
they are all of them trapped in holes and hidden in prisons;
they have become plunder with none to rescue,
spoil with none to say, ‘Restore!’”

Isa. 42:22 (ESV)

We live among people plundered and looted. They do not even know it. Spiritually, though, they are empty. They walk around trapped all the time, not wanting to be set free.

I had a picture of this the other day. So often we make fun of bums on the street corner holding those signs, “Will Work for Food”. They look so bad and probably smell worse. We think, “Why don’t they go get a real job?”

Yet, we too often walk around like spiritual bums. We have all the access to the Kingdom of God, yet refuse to pray and walk in the Spirit. We hold up signs, “Need a Miracle!”

The question is, “Why don’t we just GO HOME?”

Home to the Father, who is waiting to pour his wonderful gifts into our lives.

We are plundered and looted. We need to hear the word of the Lord: RESTORE.
