This passage reminds me to stop looking at my own naval and even only that of my immediate family. there are so many people with needs that I could help not by doing some great work, but simply by keeping my eyes, ears and heart open.
Isaiah 33-36
I'm not really an old testament guy yet. The repetition gets to me. The imagery of blood and fat in the dust is powerful. God's anger reminds me of his perfect nature that is beyond my comprehension. and that I and everyone I know is deserving of terrible punishment. the tension of not knowing the depth of my wrongness yet being condemned is strange.
Isaiah paints a very different picture of the joys that God has for me if I only follow Him.
