Isaiah 28:23-29

I must confess I have not posted here in quite awhile because of these verses. They have bothered me, perhaps because I do not know anything about farming and have struggled greatly with trying to understand the meaning, be it figurative or literal. But instead of camping here until I figured out or understood the meaning, I drifted to other passages, visiting this passage only periodically. If I do not come to terms with the fact of my avoidance of the bewildering, I will never move on. And there are some amazing things in the remaining 32 chapters of this book. Maybe at some other time in my life God will open my eyes to the meaning of these verses, but for now I need to accept the simple fact I do not, nor cannot, know and/or understand everything in scripture. However, I can take confidence and find assurance in the fact that "the LORD of hosts... is wonderful in counsel and excelling in wisdom" (v29, ESV). And oh how beautiful and sweet those words are to my ears.
