Turn And Be Healed - Isaiah 6:9-10

Isaiah 6:9-10 ESV 

And he said, “Go, and say to this people:

 “‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;

keep on seeing, but do not perceive. ’

 Make the heart of this people dull,

and their ears heavy,

and blind their eyes;

 lest they see with their eyes,

and hear with their ears,

and understand with their hearts,

and turn and be healed.”

Isaiah is given the word to say to this rebellious house. God describes the heart of those who continue to reject Him. He speaks to them knowing Israel will turn a deaf ear to the grace and mercy of God. 

They are given over to the inclination of their heart. God will eventually abandon a heart that willfully and continually rejects Him. Such a heart will harden in the deviant and illformed shape it has chosen.

One sealed in the Spirit is not abandoned to that dark end, but God continues to mold and shape our earth. We don the robes of the righteousness of Christ when we believe, but we grow into the mind of Jesus as we walk in His light. Our hearts continue to soften in the presence of love.
