If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Isaiah 1:19-20

ah ... seeing that old King James reminds me of the faith of my fathers! thank you for bringing that valued legacy to my mind tonight, my friend. i am thankful!
ReplyDeleteMay God continue to shine HIS grace upon you!
DeleteIsaiah didn't mince words, did he? I looked this up in the Message version, and it's still just as tough as this from the KJV. Obedience. Indeed.
ReplyDeleteYes, Deidre. Too often, we want to offer Him sacrifice. But, He wants our obedience!
DeleteThose are some tough words. Can't say we weren't warned!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Warnings always come before destruction.
DeleteAnd all He ask of us is to love Him and to walk humbly with our Lord!
