My first day of the official sabbatical time. I started my morning with reading from the prophets. The daily readings are designed to take me through all the writings of the prophets during the three months of my sabbatical time. No one made any suggestions about what I should choose to read, and when I checked out the poetry suggestion and discovered we began with Job, I chose to stay with my original choice of the Prophets.
This morning's reading was taken from Isaiah, and for someone who has just begun this time with a joyful heart, it was a dour enough beginning. I read from Chapter 1 verse 1 to Chapter 3 verse 7 -- enough expressions of God's disappointment to give me pause. but I'm looking forward to the glorious promises that lie ahead -- both in the scriptures and in my sabbatical plans!
