Isaiah 1

It took me just under 10 minutes to read this chapter. I wonder if this was the first words that God put in Isaiah's mouth? I wonder if these were the words that innaugurated his public ministry. If they were, did God allow him to see the depth of the corruption that was taking place in Judah? The words Isaiah spoke could be pointed at most any ruling body on any government around the world. The most damning part is that the words of rejection are directed to the people who should have known to do right. They had turned festival and gatherings as a display of piety, when God intended them to be times of reflection on how God had blessed then.  We need to take heed of Isaiah's words.
