After Isaiah condemns our most sacred sacrificial rites and ordinances (see Isaiah 1:11-14), he calls for us to put away or remove evil. He declares, “Wash ye, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil” (Isaiah 1:16). I love how Isaiah doesn’t only tell us to stop doing evil but tells us what to do instead. “Learn to do well,” he says. In Isaiah 1:17, Isaiah gives insight into what the Lord means by doing well. He said, “Seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.” That’s it. A short list of things that we could and should do in order be righteous. It may be a short list, but it is not as easy as it looks. Learn what it takes to do well in the Lord’s eyes.
