20:11 - "...shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and to her idols..."
Just because we're members of the church doesn't mean we will be able to sin and "get away" with it. We will be punished for our own transgressions.
20:12-15 - "...shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith..."
Without the Lord, we are nothing. We are naught but instruments in His hands to bless the lives of those around us. We are either effective or ineffective. It's not that we are either instruments or not, because we are, and always will be instruments that He can use.
However, we need to be effective if we wish to be wise servants in assisting the Lord in His work and glory.
20:17 - "...and the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame, and shall burn and shall devour his thorns and his briers in one day..."
The Lord will deal justly and righteously with us all. We must have faith in Him that He does know what He's doing. Then we can act in faith to forgive, forget, move on, and move up. The Lord will take care of the things that don't seem "fair."
