The Noble Devises Noble Things

Read and Think

Isaiah 32 describes a coming time of good leadership: "Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice." A good ruler protects people. "A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land."

In that day, people would see things as they really are. "The fool will no longer be called noble." But "the noble devises noble things, and he will continue in noble things." Isaiah warned the women who were careless and at ease that the harvest would fail.

The hard times would last "until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field." Then justice and righteousness would live in the land. "The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever."
