"Here I Am, Send Me", Sunday, June 24, 2012

Today's reading is from chapters 1, 2, 4, and 5 of Isaiah; II Kings 15; and II Chronicles 26 and 27.  It begins with the enormity of God's anger toward the evil ways of the people.

God is always merciful and wants the salvation of His people.  Isaiah 1:27 says, "Zion will be redeemed with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness"
"'Come now, let us reason together,' says the Lord. 'Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. . . .'"        Isaiah 1:18
Menahem died and his son Pekahiah ruled for two years when he was assassinated by Pekah son of Ramaliah, who became king.  They were all evil in God's eyes.  In Judah, Uzziah died and Jotham reigned solely in Judah for 16 years.  He "grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God.  However, the people continued in their corrupt practices.
