"Israel doth not know, my people do not consider - " Isaiah 1:3
'My people doth not consider' is the complaint that God makes here. He says that even the domestic animals could teach them a lesson in this.
"The ox knoweth his owner and the donkey his masters crib; but Israel doth not know, my people do not consider" Is 1:3
There was plenty of religeous activity. Many were prepared to go through all the rituals expected of them. Yet they had never really faced up to the obligations of being numbered among the people of God.
Many never stop to think that the One we call our Master has claims and demands upon our thought concerning the obligations of allegiance to Him. Some of us imagine that our orthodoxy is all that counts, the activities in which we engage.
I have known people who have a consecration, so-called, that seems to have little awareness of that fact of sin in their lives. They can tell of a day when they told God they would do anything, and go anywhere, at any time. But my dear friend of what use are you going to be if you are so full of your self, that nobody can get on with you.
If you always have to have your own way, and you are the only one who can receive guidence from God, and everone else is wrong, what good are you going to be? Some claim a consecration to God which has no bearing upon the plain, down-to-earth sins that they commit day by day......"My people doth not consider....? Is 1:3
Is your trouble simply that you just do not think?
You never really think that you are expected to be different because of the Master to whom you profess to own allegiance. Oh may we lay ourselves open to the searching light of His word, and say, 'Lord is it I? "Am I failing to think?
