God sees the heart!

Did ya miss me? I've been struggling through Isaiah, today reading ch 49-51. It is amazing to me how Isaiah wrote about things 500 to 600 years before they took place. Of course, his pen was inspired by God who knows the whole story. A common theme throughout this book is one of disobedience. The people of Israel have substituted man-made rules over whole-hearted worship. Eerily, this could apply to us today! God continues to love and offer solutions, the ultimate one in Jesus, which Isaiah prophecizes numerour times. Isaiah is presenting us with a choice...either get with God, or don't. Half-hearted measures are not the way. We cannot give lip service for God knows what is in our hearts! Take Isaiah as a warning, but also as encouragement. God loves us and will provide!
