Worship into the Week- The LORD's Vineyard

 

Worship into the Week-

 Isaiah 5:1-7- 

A song about the LORD's vineyard.

This parable is a love song where God is the landowner and 

the people of Israel- Judah are the vineyard.

Preparations are made and tending is done by God 

who takes care of things with love and care.

Rocks are dug up, planting happens with the best vines.

 There is even a watchtower and winepress built.

Even with all of this care and the best of everything,

the vineyard fails.  

There are stinking grapes and not a sweet harvest.

God asks- "What more could I have done?"

He proclaims that He has done it all 

and now will remove hedges,

trample down walls and let it be overgrown.

 He will let the divine protection go away.

God expected to see justice and found oppresion.

God expected to find righteousness and got violence.

Certainly harsh judgment here,

 but God has the best intent for His people.

There is the good news promised 

in His Word of restoration coming.

We must always look to the light and hope

 even on really hard days.
