Obedience to God is Our Protection

"Now I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a rich and fertile hill. He plowed the land, cleared its stones, and planted it with the best vines. In the middle he built a watchtower and carved a winepress in the nearby rocks. Then he waited for a harvest of sweet grapes, but the grapes that grew were bitter."

Isaiah 5:1‭-‬2 NLT

With a father's heart, God bore with His people..... but, instead of being welcomed, these men of discernment and spiritual power were treated as enemies. 21.1

To this people were committed ... the precepts of His law, the everlasting principles of truth, justice, and purity. 18.1

Obedience to these principles was to be their protection, for it would save them from destroying themselves by sinful practices. 18.1

And as the tower in the vineyard, God placed in the midst of the land His holy temple. 18.1

Christ was their instructor. As He had been with them in the wilderness... He constantly manifested the riches of His love and patience. 18.2

Through Moses the purpose of God was set before them and the terms of their prosperity made plain. 18.3
