What I like best about this Isaiah 30 passage is this promise:
"And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left,
your ears shall hear a word behind you saying,
'This is the way; walk in it.'"
This is a promise given to those who "eat the bread of adversity" and who "drink the water of affliction."
Not a promise to take away difficulties, but a promise to guide us through them.

I do want to see my Teacher! This was the most inspiring part of this passage for me.
I was taken aback by the affliction and suffering passages. I do not feel like I have had to bear much suffering or affliction in my life. And I believe that this discussion of these factors is more pertinent to the context of the reading. To the people who had to live through slavery, war, and loss of their country. I would love to learn more about this book of the Bible as I've never studying it before. I think I would understand it more with a discussion of the context and history of the text.
