Isaiah 1:5-9

Isaiah 1:5-9 AMP

¶Why should you be stricken and punished again [since no change results from it]? You [only] continue to rebel. The whole head is sick And the whole heart is faint and sick. From the sole of the foot even to the head There is nothing healthy in the nation’s body, Only bruises, welts, and raw wounds, Not pressed out or bandaged, Nor softened with oil [as a remedy]. ¶Your land lies desolate [because of your disobedience], Your cities are burned with fire, Your fields—strangers are devouring them in your very presence; It is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. The Daughter of Zion (Jerusalem) is left like a [deserted] shelter in a vineyard, Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city [isolated, surrounded by devastation]. If the LORD of hosts Had not left us a few survivors, We would be like Sodom, We would be like Gomorrah. [Gen 19:24, 25; Rom 9:29]

Women and Justice

8 Days

Psalm 11:3 (NIV) says “When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" In our world today, there are two foundational truths that are being undermined: the biblical idea of justice and the role of women in society. This is not an accident. Women, in their divine design, are indispensable to show humanity the mercy of God and His way to accomplish justice.
