—Isaiah 32:9-20
by: Lisa Moore.
God never minces words, regardless of position or gender. The women in this passage were lazy, apathetic, careless, and indulgent in selfish whims. He called their behavior out and called them to repentance before judgment was passed on all the people and the land. God cannot ignore sin. He is a God of justice and sin’s penalty must be paid. Thankfully, He is also a God of mercy. After the penalty of sin is paid for (which in our case was through Jesus’ death), there is always restoration when His Spirit is poured out and all that became barren becomes fruitful once again. Thank you, Lord.
