Stupid people....

Sunday School this morning referenced Isaiah 5. It talked about how God (my well-beloved) felt about His chosen Israel (the vineyard).

"Let me sing now for my well-beloved

A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard.

My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.

He dug it all around, removed its stones,

And planted it with the choicest vine.

And He built a tower in the middle of it

And also hewed out a wine vat in it;

Then He expected it to produce good grapes,

But it produced only worthless ones.

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,

Judge between Me and My vineyard.

What more was there to do for My vineyard that I have not done in it?

Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes did it produce worthless ones?....

For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel

And the men of Judah His delightful plant.

Thus He looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed;

For righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress."

Isaiah 5:1-4, 7

STUPID ISRAEL!!!! YOU MAKE NO SENSE!!!! God had done so much for you. He delivered you from Egypt. He gave you provision even in the worst of places. He lead you to a land He had chosen for you. STUPID STUPID ISRAEL!! What more could He have done than He had already done? Why, when you had seen all this did you still produce nothing but worthlessness? Why, when you have seen His provision did you grumble? Oops.

STUPID STUPID EMILY!!!!! YOU MAKE NO SENSE!!!! God has done so much for you. He has delivered you from so many things. He has shown His lovingkindness to you in even the worst of times. He has blessed you with a life full of wonderful people and things. STUPID STUPID EMILY!! What more can He do than He has already done? Why, when you have seen all this do you still produce nothing but worthlessness? Why, when you have seen such blessings do you gripe and complain?

Forgive my wandering, complaining, wayward ways.
