10 Nov 2014; Isa 5:1-7

The Lord give the very best and prepared the best for His people. BUT yet the return was just the opposite.

Here was a picture of a vineyard - conditions on a fertile land, guarded and well taken care. But when the seasons came - wild grapes. A disappointment by the Lord, the farmer who sow, but not reap.

Is it that the people of Israel or Judah failed to work hard? The land condition was right, the weather was right, and indeed then it was the result of a divided attention of heart - that has laid waste the land.

Our lives - is that land. Will then our undivided heart distracted us from the fulfillment that the Lord?

We are given different talents. Why crave for more of the material things beyond the talents? Or why not depend on the Lord for his multiplication.

As such, today reflection on the word is: - Keep the Lord in your midst- it is Him that you must please. The land is the Lord who provides, the weather is Him who provide. Why the grapes cannot be yield? It is you that He has put to tend the farm - be not be distract - be that faithful servant and enjoy the fruit of the farm.

I lift my hands to the Lord. I lift my plans to Him, to do the will that my rest is found in the Lord.
