It's time for each one of us to make ready...

As I woke up this morning I kept hearing Isaiah 1, So I looked it up and read it. 
As the thunder rings out this morning ( God's speaks in the thunder)
As food for thought this morning I want to share it with you.

Isaiah 1:1-10 (New International Version)


1The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah,Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

A Rebellious Nation

2Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: "I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me.3The ox knows his master, the donkey his owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand."4Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.5Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted.6From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness-- only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil.7Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.8The Daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a city under siege.9Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.10Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
