Now let me sing to my Well-
beloved
A song of my Beloved.
regarding His vineyard:
My well-beloved has a.
vineyard
On a very fruitful hill.
He dug it up and cleared out
its stones,
And planted it with the
choicest vine.
He built a tower in its midst,
And also made a winepress
in it;
So He expected it to bring
forth good grapes,
But it brought forth wild.
grapes.
"And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard. What more could have been done to My vineyard
That I have not done in it?
Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes,
Did it bring forth wild grapes?
And now, please let Me tell you
what I will do to My vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall,
and it shall be trampled down.
I will lay it waste; It shall not be pruned or dug,
But there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it."
For the vineyard of the LORD.
of hosts is the house of.
Israel,
And the men of Judah are His
pleasant plant.
He looked for justice, but.
behold,oppression;
For righteousness, but behold,
a cry for help.
Isaiah 5:1-7
The chapter goes on to speak about accumulating houses, drinking, sin, and vanity. When times are good we better not forget where it all came from - God. People have a tendency to seek God only when times get tough, myself included. The world can get fast-paced, and we get caught up in ourselves.
Solution - try to read the Bible every night, at least a chapter. One thing I have always done, at least I think, is pray before I go to sleep. Always seek God in good times and bad. He loves to hear you tell Him that you love Him, also. "I love You, Father," see it is easy.
The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Please read your Bible.

SpiritualReading God's Word is truly an enlightening, on-going experience; one that I truly enjoy. I began posting His Word in "My Highlighted Bible Verses" and couldn't stop. He started talking to me through Scripture, some of the messaging is beyond me...
