Tuesday Reading: Isaiah 65:1-7
Key Verse: Isaiah 65:1
1 I am sought by those who asked not for Me; I am found by those who did not seek Me. I said, Behold Me, behold Me, to a nation not calling on My name.
Devotion:
Is this something new that we are a nation that has all but forgotten about God? Are we the first to reject God and work against Him instead of for Him? I fear not. We can read just about any book in our bibles and read about the way that man has rejected God and has conspired to lift himself up rather than God. This all comes from the original evil one to lift himself up instead of God and that is Satan.
Throughout time man has continued to think that he is the one that is the most powerful and it is not limited to a conflict between man and God but between men themselves. Wars continue to be fought up and down our land just because someone thinks that they are better than someone else or through greed for what someone else may have. These conflicts all work against what God has tried to teach man from those very first days right through to the present times. He has laid down rules and guidelines for us and yet we continue to ignore them and make our own ways; our foolish ways.
Do we not look back and wonder why we got up to those things? Have we forgotten so quickly all that we have been up to and all that we have rejected God with? And yet we continue on in our sinful, lustful ways until we come to the end and break down because we have nothing else left! Why do we continue one against God when He has given us so much? Why should God continue to allow us to even live when we do so much against Him? There will be a time when we do have to face up to the consequences for our actions – before then we have a choice to make, continue on until we break, or change our ways and follow God’s will!
Points to Ponder:
I ask again, are you in control?
How much will you do against God before realising it?
