Reading for May 26th

Read Isaiah 28.23-29. In 28.23-29: The lesson of the farmer's year. This one of the most instructive prophetic parables of the Hebrew Scriptures. The variety of activities that make up the farmer's year illustrate the force of vv. 21-22. To the question, "Would not destroying the city where the Temple stands be a strange work for God the protector?" the prophet's answer is that, like the farmer, God has many varied tasks to perform-and judging a rebellious people is one of them.
