Isaiah 1:19
"If ye be willing and obedient, ye
shall eat the good of the land"
That Scripture reminds me of all the times my earthly Father would tell me; "Now do good Robert and listen to me and you can have good things in your life. I must say my Father was always right. With that my Father and I formed a bond of trust that will last through eternity. He was always there to pick me up when I would fall,and put me back on the right path in life.
This is the same that God is saying here in this Scripture to Isaiah. However this is also a charge to all people of all nations to be Willing and Obedient. Here God covers both Earthly Good of the Land and the Heavenly good as well. First he tells us to be truly sorry for what we have done,and break off the practice of doing it. We must be doing the Good our Lord requires. When God said Willing; He meant; He wants us to consent to His authority, and to Him only; no one or nothing else should take his place. When God said Obedient; He wants us to heed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and give ear to the goings and comings of this world we live in.
When God said; shall eat the Good of the Land ; in translation it means to have goodness, beauty, excellence, cheerfulness, well being, good things, the best things, goods, wealth, property, happiness, prosperity fairness, graciousness. All these things we are promised here on earth in this life and when we enter into the Kingdom of God.
We are not perfect, just sinners saved by God's Grace through the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son. Even after many threads of transgression and though we have often dipped in sin, and backslide yet, His pardon of many will take out the stain. (Psalm 51:7). We will have all the happiness and comfort that we could desire, though life and death, good and evil are set before us. O' Lord incline us all to live to thy Glory. Amen!!!
