Israel in Isaiah's day had a form of relgiosity and honored Jehovah God with their lips, but the hearts of most of the people were far from Him. To merely follow outward rituals, sings hymns and songs, attend church services, and profess to follow the Lord falls short of the mark. We must learn by his grace to truly obey God from the heart. We must cultivate a concern for others' welfare, especially the poor and downtrodden.
