"The LORD will guide you continually"

Text: Isaiah 58:11

ISRAEL MUST DO ITS PART

The blessings of the LORD are always conditional. Israel must seek to do its part in obeying the instructions from the LORD.

“If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your darkness shall be as the noonday.
The LORD will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”
Isaiah 58:10-11
