For the fortified city is isolated, A homestead
forlorn and forsaken like the desert; There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and feed on its branches. When its limbs are dry, they are broken off; Women come and make a fire with them, For they are not a people of discernment, Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them. And their Creator will not be gracious to them.
And there it will lie down and feed on its branches. When its limbs are dry, they are broken off; Women come and make a fire with them, For they are not a people of discernment, Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them. And their Creator will not be gracious to them.
Isaiah
27:10-11 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
One of the key lines
in these verses is “for they are not a people of discernment.” One of the
surest ways to make sure one doesn’t receive compassion is to reject the wisdom
and understanding of God. It is readily open to all who will take it, but many
reject God’s wisdom because they reject Him. They do not fear Him: they have no
reverence for Him and no intention of submitting to His will and command. As
with salvation, it is available to all, but we have to accept Him in order to
receive it. Compassion is not something we earn or deserve, but it is something
we can lose. Rejecting God, rejecting His love and refusing to love like Him is
also denying His compassion. Where is your heart? Do you fear God?
