“Now as for you, Son of Man, your nation’s children keep gathering together to talk about you beside the walls and at the doorway to their houses. Everyone tells one another, ‘Please come! Let’s go hear what the LORD has to say!’
31 Then they come to you as a group, sit down right in front of you as if they were my people, hear your words—and then they don’t do what you say— because they’re seeking only their own desires, they pursue ill-gotten profits, and they keep following their own self-interests.
32 As far as they are concerned, you sing romantic songs with a beautiful voice and play a musical instrument well. They’ll listen to what you have to say, but they won’t put it into practice!
33 When all of this comes about—and you can be sure that it will!—they’ll learn that a prophet has been in their midst.”
This passage comes from Isaiah 33:30. I read it shortly after I got baptized. My hair stood on end and it felt like I’d been dipped in holy spirit oil three times. Like someone dipped a brush into oil and placed it over me there times. Why? Because I believe this is true if me. And the sad part is also true. People don’t do what I suggest they do. They’re too lazy. They see the brilliance of what I say but they always say it’s too late. It’ll never come right. Idiots. If you don’t think the word of God is worth anything you might as well call yourself an unbeliever.
