 Oct 22 – Smole in the Nostrils - Isaiah 65:1-5

 

     Isaiah continues his message and diatribe.  The Lord revealed Himself to a people who did know Him. He was found by people who did not seek Him.  That is how we are come.  While we were yet sinner Christ died for us.   He spoke to a nation that did not call on His name and said, “Here I am.”

     The Lord is reaching out to an obstinate people who walk in their own ways and imaginations. They are a people that offer sacrifices in gardens and on altars of brick.  They sit among graves doing night vigils for idols and they eat unclean animals.  They believe that they are sacred and pure when they are smoke in the Lord’s nostrils.
