Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

whole. you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with vengeance is mine as we pick up in Isaiah chapter 59 verse 15 and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck. This portion of Isaiah is actually Hebrew poetry and we see the thoughts are expressed

in very picturesque ways.

Crooked paths, groping like a blind man,

like a person with no eyes,

stumbling at noontime as though it were midnight,

desolate as the grave, men who dwell in the grave or as places as dead men.

And God looking on the whole thing, seeing the whole perversity of man,

seeing the greed of man ruling his heart

as no one is really seeking to be fair or honest or just,

no one calling for justice, everybody getting by with whatever they can. And he saw

verse 16 that there was no man and he wondered that there was no intercessor, no one to cry out against it.
