Hearing God in Scripture

59: Striking and Healing (Isaiah 19:22)


Listen Later

Isaiah 19:22

And the Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them.

          This passage from Isaiah 19 demonstrates God’s way of dealing with people, any people. He wants people to come close to him. To make this closer relationship with God happen, God strikes people. He strikes you. He doesn’t want to strike you, but he wants to get your attention and bring you back to him. God strikes so that he can heal, so that he can have mercy and bring the Egyptians (and you and me) close to Him. Let us not shun the striking of God, but embrace it and let God heal and let God draw us near to Himself.
