Contemplative Bible Reading

2 Kings 19:27 (New International Version 2011)

But I know where you are
and when you come and go
and how you rage against me.

In the above verse, the prophet Isaiah is relaying a message from the LORD to King Hezekiah about the attacking King of Assyria. These words are a warning to the King of Assyria.

In today’s slang, God is saying

I know where you live.

Aha, yet another part of western culture that was plagiarized from the Bible. Sometimes I wonder if I will find any “new” idea today that is not just like this one – taken from the Bible and changed a bit to obfuscate the source. And some people say there is no God as they go about their lives quoting God’s word all day.
