EXQUISITELY WILD


Isaiah 31-34

Today I am back in civilization.  Instant hot water, restaurants, people, noise and the air has a linger scent of exhaust.  To go along with my civilization I need a civilized God.  Not in these chapters.  He’s as wild and fierce as the thunder that rolled over the mountains in our camp yesterday.   God is wild in the totality of His power and absolute control and mastery of the universe.  Civil loses all meaning here.  Exquisite replaces civil.  These chapters let us glimpse the true nature of God.  The only words I know to express Him are EXQUISITELY WILD!

Written from a heart which can already feel the “dullness” of civilization replacing the ecstasy of wilderness.

Storm In The Rocky Mountains by Albert Bierstadt
