SATURDAY AFTER ASH WEDNESDAY - Isa 58:9b-14;Ps 86; Luke 5:27-32

In these ordinary actions, God will act extraordnarily.

Perhaps the truly extraordinary promise comes at the end of Isaiah 58, the climax of the chapter.  Again, the  "if" is simple enough:   "Honor the Sabbath."  Guard it.  Stop pursuing our own desires.  If we do this, then we will "delight" in the Lord.  The Hebrew is stronger then the Englist translation:  we will not just delight but take "exquisite delight"  in the Lord.  This delight will be like riding on the heights of the earth. It seems this exquisite delight is the ultimate promise, the truly extraordinary gift in our ordinary lives.

Does this promise sound extraordinary enough?  What would it feel like, look like and mean to live a life of "exquisite delight" in God?
