by the end of all these chapters, I hope to be able to spell Isaiah......without mixing up the a's and i's...hahahah!
There's a TON in this one!
6-9 God, you’ve walked out on your family Jacob
because their world is full of hokey religion,
Philistine witchcraft, and pagan hocus-pocus,
a world rolling in wealth,
Stuffed with things,
no end to its machines and gadgets,
And gods—gods of all sorts and sizes.
These people make their own gods and worship what they make.
A degenerate race, facedown in the gutter.
sounds pretty much like our modern day society, doesn't it? I've heard it said that you can tell what you're worshipping by looking at your bank statement. It can be a startling revelation.
22 Quit scraping and fawning over mere humans,
so full of themselves, so full of hot air!
Can’t you see there’s nothing to them?
I like this one too. We are all falling short of the glory of God. In my job, I meet with celebs, once in a while. I just had a meeting with Brad Paisley (great guy, btw) and I find myself thinking too much of them. They are just like us, only with more stuff, and more committments. We tend to idolize our celebs in this country.....for all the wrong reasons.
that's enough.....I could go on.
I liked this one too, scary thought to review the bank account. I think you would find a lot spent on racing and food for us. other than that I don't think we get to material, though we do have one pretty nice car. compared to everywhere but the US we probably are big spenders.
ReplyDeletethe last verse is the one that hit me too, I was thinking at work why worry about anyone's status they are only a man or woman. nothing more or less, no more or less than me.
