Isaiah chapter 22 verse 1 and verse 11, much like we did with Isaiah 21.

I want to show the relationship between these two verses. It's so important.

Verse 1 says the oracle concerning the valley of vision.

So this prophecy concerning the valley of vision.

I want a phrase, valley of vision.

And then Isaiah 22, verse 11 says,

but you did not look to him who did it

or see him who planned it long ago.

So you listen to those two verses, there's clearly an emphasis on vision here

on what you look to and what you see when you're in the valley.

So just think about your life right now

and valleys you have walked through

or valleys you will walk through or valleys you may be

walking through right now. What's most important as you walk through valleys is

your sight. What you see and what you're looking to, the valley of vision.

And verse 11 in Isaiah 22 is saying the problem is you did not look to God.

You did not see God who was working out his good plans and purposes even in the valley.

And you think about it, this is what makes Valley so hard right because we have a hard time

seeing who God is and how God is working we don't understand why this is happening and God over and over and over in his word is saying keep your eyes fixed on me.

Keep trusting in me.

Keep looking to me.
