Rights of God

Song of Isaiah 5: 1-7 which describes Israel as a vineyard of God has taught me that God has the right to expect love, worship, and observance of those who blessed him. Unfortunately, like the people in Isaiah's day, many of us are showing a little gratitude. And we deliberately undermine the moral laws of his. When we behave like this, God certainly has the right to impose penalties.

History reveals that when a nation ignores God and reject His Word, the nation will reap bitter fruit.

On this day, we are reminded again of the freedom that we enjoy. We should really appreciate this independence. However, sometimes we shrugged, less concerned about the people who get the blessing is not too much. We become a nation of individuals who selfishly impose right, do things that are not fair to the others, and do not think about their welfare.

At worst, when demand for personal independence, we do not really listen to God's rights. Therefore, we need to realize that He is the master of the vineyard. He expects us to bear the fruit of love and obedience, and instead of sour grapes taste ungrateful and evil (Isaiah 5: 2).

When we give thanks to God for our rights, let us not forget the rights of God.
