Isaiah 28–29: Woes are pronounced upon the spiritually blind, but a "marvelous work and a wonder" will restore truth through a sealed book.
I checked RSC (rsc.byu.edu) and Joseph Smith Papers (josephsmithpapers.org) for relevant material. While some general biblical interpretations were available, I found a more directly applicable and Church-specific resource from churchofjesuschrist.org that explicitly addresses Isaiah 29 within the "Come Follow Me" context, which is more appropriate for this devotional.
Today's Come Follow Me lesson on Isaiah 28–29 focuses on the Lord's promise of a "marvelous work and a wonder" to overcome spiritual blindness and apostasy. This prophecy, particularly found in Isaiah 29:14, is understood by Latter-day Saints as referring to the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. The lesson emphasizes that Isaiah's prophecies often have multiple fulfillments, applying to both ancient Israel's challenges and the spiritual desolation of the Great Apostasy, ultimately leading to the glorious restoration of truth in the latter days. This divinely orchestrated work is intended to help us overcome spiritual hunger and staggering caused by a lack of truth.

How does understanding the dual fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecies—both for ancient Israel and for the latter-day Restoration—deepen our appreciation for the ongoing "marvelous work and a wonder" today?
Considering today's intention to center my thoughts and trust in Jesus Christ and align my will with His, how can actively studying and embracing the "marvelous work and a wonder" spoken of in Isaiah 29 (see Isaiah 29:14) help me more fully participate in His work?
