Isaiah 20

It only took 1 minute to read this chapter. Three years running around naked; that's what God commanded of Isaiah. Imagine how the crowds responded to Isaiah: cat calls, laughter, taunts, and all sorts of insults. I wonder when God explained his purpose to the prophet? Did he tell Isaiah at the start, or did the prophet have to wait until the time of the sign was complete? This would have been a very difficult task for me to complete. Yet, God expects us to receive his word and respond in obedience to his word.  He expects this response even if the result of our actions are uncomfortable or even dangerous; it's up to him to protect and deliver us through the problems. We need to obey and trust God.
