Isa 12
When was the last time I shout with joy to the Lord? The bursting out create sound that resonate not only the inner being, but amplified the expression of love for the Lord.
Why then is there no shout and why is there no joy. Is it because you are weary or because you are angry.
Before Isa 12 was war and famine. The people were weary and the people are angry. When you are angry with your child and he/she comes back to you to say he/she is sorry, do not we go and hug them and forget about what has happen, then there will be rejoice.
1. TURN away from your anger
2. place your TRUST in the Lord
3. give THANKS.
Forget about the anger nor harbour it, forget the unfairness etc. Do not be angry with God let alone He be angry with you, v1"your anger turned away,that you might comfort me".
Instead place your trust in the Lord that His grace is sufficient for us. Work towards His salvation and v3"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation".
Lastly give thanks, sing shout and praise for v6"for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”
I pray for that joy, that trust that I may know of His salvation and His grace, so that I may sing, shout and praise the Lord for who I am, what I have.

Isa 5:8-30
v8- the people add fields to fields till there was no room.
Nothing wrong with that, but again it is about the heart.
The Lord do not need the weath creation and as well as kingdom giving. What He desire is the right heart.
15 Man is humbled, and each one is brought low,and the eyes of the haughty [9] are brought low.16 But the Lord of hosts is exalted [10] in justice,and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.17 Then shall the lambs graze as in their pasture,and nomads shall eat among the ruins of the rich.
Remember, live a just in the Lord and enjoy His pasture.

Isa 5:1-7
The passage is about the vineyard that produces bad grapes.
God is the planter and is expecting the vineyard to produce good grapes. It is not because He is a bad planter, in verse 1-2, He choose a fertile hillside, clear it of stones, watch over it etc.
I served a God who has set the pace and has given me Jesus Christ. He prepared everthing - and I do not need be the one that plan to be the best grape.
Lord, you are my Lord. I am the produce of your hand and I need not be the one sho plan and crave myself to be that produce. I have you my Jesus, that plan, plant , water and watches over me to see that I become the good grapes. You are vine and I am the branches for without you I am nothing.
Check my heart so that I will turn bad. I need not to be somebody for you and I don't need to be someone for the world to see. My worth is in you, for you are the one who has selected the best for me to become.
