During my Bible reading this morning in Isaiah 33, I was reminded of Capitol Hill. It sounds like most of our politicians might be in trouble some day. I hope verse 15 describes me. I wish it described the people we've elected to represent us. And for my friends on the other side of the political spectrum, worry not: I'm talking about both sides. Anyway, it doesn't sound like there's much of a chance of them living in any rocky fortresses in the future.
15 The one who lives righteously
and speaks rightly,
who refuses gain from extortion,
whose hand never takes a bribe,
who stops his ears from listening to murderous plots
and shuts his eyes to avoid endorsing evil —
16 he will dwell on the heights;
his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,
his food provided, his water assured.
