'Be ever seeing, but never perceiving'

Join me each weekday for a short thought from the Bible to help us listen to what God is saying right now.These are today’s verses:“He said, ‘Go and tell this people:‘“Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.”Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes.Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts,and turn and be healed.’Then I said, ‘For how long, Lord?’And he answered:‘Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant,until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged,until the Lord has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken.And though a tenth remains in the land, it will again be laid waste.But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.’”Isaiah 6:9-13The Bible Uncancelled is a reader-supported publication.
