Isaiah 29:13-14 RSV — And the Lord said: “Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men learned by rote; therefore, behold, I will again do marvelous things with this people, wonderful and marvelous; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hid.”
Isaiah repeatedly warns against trusting in political alliances, rules and rites, and human wisdom.
It feels like a personal warning as a I read and listen to different resources.
How does one keep one’s heart close to God while (over)thinking deeply through His Word?
I try to remember that I will always hold more ignorance than knowledge.
That’s why I choose to trust in God. The unknowable is nearly infinite, but God is omniscient.
