The first reading gives us a
vivid picture for ridding our lives of the useless elements hanging on to them.
It compares them to cellulose husks encasing grains of wheat. In describing how
those husks are done away with, the Bible is suggesting that you could do
something similar for yourself.
On a clear night, farmers spread their wheat harvest over open
ground, and then they beat it with many tonged sledges, loosening the cellulose
husks from the wheat grain. Then they pile the crushed grains on to sheets from
which they thrust the grain and husks skyward.
Then, as fellow workers swing their winnowing fans, the
yellow clouds of wheat and husks float off in the the torch light.
Isaiah suggests that you
might devise your own plan for wafting away the husks in your life.
