Isaiah 30:18-21

Reader! observe the workings of grace, and how the Lord's love breaks out, before the weapons of sin in the rebellious child's hands fall down. And do observe, in this sweet scripture, not only the waitings in the Lord to be gracious, but to be very gracious; not only his bowels yearning to pardon, but to take into favor. And though, in outward providences, the Lord seemed to frown, in the hard and coarse fare of bread in adversity, and water in affliction, yet love was in all, and at the bottom of all. And, as a proof of it, whereas in times past, the Lord's prophets and teachers had been prohibited from speaking to the people, in the name of the Lord; yet now the people should not only hear and see them, but feel the power of grace upon their hearts, accompanying the word. They should have the hearing ear and the seeing eye, yea, they should not only hear the word behind them, but feel it in them, and have Christ formed in their heart, the hope of glory. Reader! do you know anything of this?
