Isaiah 57:14-21 A truly amazing passage! In verse 15 the LORD declares, "I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit". He goes on to explain that He can dwell with the crushed and lowly because He "will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry" (vs 16). That's good news, certainly! BUT DOESN'T that just create a different sort of problem? People haven't stopped sinning (verse 17!) -- so on what basis can the LORD make such an audacious promise without compromising His own holiness?
