Isaiah 57

21 “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
Here I find yet another chapter where Isaiah rants on and on about God's anger at His chosen people.
This afternoon was spent at the first meeting of the New England ELCA Synod gathering. With many songs, speeches and words of encourgement we are preparing to go out tomorrow for a day of service in the community surrounding Springfield, Massachusetts. The direction this Synod is going, is to take us on a journey of discovery where we will learn to understand Gods will for us and constantly "Do What Matters".
I see Isaiah 57 as the exact opposite of what I hope to experience tomorrow, going out into the community, doing God's work with others who have been called to action, sharing and showing God's love.
