at that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying "Go and loosen the sackcloth from your hips and take your shoes off your feet." And he did so, going naked and barefoot.I have to assume that being naked was a sign of disgrace, just as it is now. So why would God intentionally humiliate His prophet? Couldn't He have found some other way of getting His message across?
He probably could have, but it wouldn't have had the impact of this. God doesn't always call us to live cushy lives. At times, He calls some to do things that are degrading or uncomfortable, to further His plan and His kingdom.
