“…so says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity; whose name is Holy; I DWELL IN THE HIGH AND HOLY PLACE, EVEN WITH HIM WHO IS OF A 1CONTRITE AND HUMBLE SPIRIT, TO REVIVE the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” (Isa. 57:15) 1dakkâ’: “the moving back and forth in a cup”. Seeds are placed in a stone mortar, a stone cup, the stone pestle is moved around the cup TO CRUSH THE SEEDS INTO A POWDER.
Place us before the Living God (who inhabits eternity!) and we are all pretty much in the same boat. None of us dwell in high and holy places. None of us are high and lifted up. The worst we do and the best we are do not vary that greatly from each other when placed in contrast with the person and character of God. There is great inequality between our best and God himself. So, we see God’s desire is to revive contriteness and humility in us so He may use us as He wills…
