The covering

Suppose you are driving down the road and see a toddler playing in a busy street. What would you do? I am certain you’d stop your car and ensure the child is safely out of harm’s way. You would likely also feel angry and ask, “Where are the parents!?” Loving, attentive parents don’t let their children play in the roadway. God is our caring and attentive Father. When Israel strayed, he “grabbed” their attention. That’s what we have repeatedly seen in the first part of Isaiah.
