Hardened Hearts Cannot See


Isaiah 6:9-10 
And He said, “ Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive. ’ 10 “Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed.”

Just as Bill Nye last night refused to consider a Creator God, choosing instead to rely on man's knowledge of the world, so God's people in Isaiah's time rejected Him until God allowed their eyes and ears to remain shut as long as they refused to humble themselves before their Maker.  Jesus told their descendants the Pharisees and scribes the same.  Do we then listen and look with eyes wide open and attentive to hear?
