Isaiah 29

I think that for a Christian one of the highest expressions of worship, one of the best ways to grown in the faith is to memorize scripture. What makes this practice so vibrant is not in committing words to memory. But the motivation for memorization (to honor God) and the investment of meditation (to grow in practical faith and grace) on what was memorized. According to verse 13 the Jews of Isaiah's day had memorized scripture and practiced the rituals. But it all of the effort was for their own selfish desires. That is a temptation I know I will fight all of this physical life.
