22 “My people will no longer be ashamed or turn pale with fear.
23 For when they see their many children and all the blessings I have given them,
they will recognize the holiness of the Holy One of Israel.
They will stand in awe of the God of Jacob. 24 Then the wayward will gain understanding, and complainers will accept instruction. - Isaiah 29
15 This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength.
18 So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help.

21 Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say,“This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.- Isaiah 30
2 But Lord, be merciful to us, for we have waited for you.
Be our strong arm each day and our salvation in times of trouble.
14“Who can live with this devouring fire?” they cry. “Who can survive this all-consuming fire?” 15 Those who are honest and fair, who refuse to profit by fraud, who stay far away from bribes, who refuse to listen to those who plot murder, who shut their eyes to all enticement to do wrong—16 these are the ones who will dwell on high.
Message:

and they will have water in abundance. - Isaiah 33
and they will have water in abundance. - Isaiah 33
Message:
The LORD wants us to depend on Him not on any human or thing else.
Observation/Promise:
When we trust in the LORD He will bless us because we wait and depend on His help and on His power alone. The LORD wants to instruct us, to guide us in everything that we do.
The LORD wants to provide everything we need, He wants to bless us and shower us with His kindness and love but there is a requirement for those that seek His love and blessing. The LORD will only give His love and blessings to those who are truly seeking Him.
Application/Command:
We have to be dependent on GOD alone. We have to follow the ways of GOD, to be honest and fair in all our dealings, even in the thoughts of our hearts. We have to be righteous not by our own strength but by GOD's grace. We have to seek His will and follow Him diligently. We have to seek justice when there is evil in the land. We need to stand with GOD and His agenda. We cannot seek to live our lives for our own pleasure and benefit but for His pleasure and glory. We have to seek GOD and His righteousness, our lives should cling to Him and not on anything else in this world.
