Week 27 Day 190 (Isaiah 1-4) July 8, 2020
God’s message to me today and verse (s) to memorize:
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they
shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: Isaiah 1:17-19 (KJV)
What does this teach me about God?
God despises our outward ceremonies of offerings and services if it is
not done in righteousness and truth. God is a Spirit and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth. Israel was worshipping in spirit but
not in truth. He required holy living, to include relieving the oppressed,
judging the fatherless and pleading for the widow. Then he invites them to come
reason with him and promises them forgiveness and cleansing.
Is there a command to obey?
There are several commands in these verses. We are to relieve the
oppressed, judge the fatherless and plead for the widow. We must learn to do
well and seek judgement. We must put away the evil of our doings and cease to
do evil. (Vs 15-17)
