Isaiah 1:10, 16-20
Gary Peterson
In these powerful verses of Isaiah, the Lord is saying that only through obedience to Him are we able to enjoy the good things that life offers. Isaiah says that a day is coming when “human pride will be ended and human arrogance destroyed…” On that day the Lord alone will be exalted.
Jill and I lost our son Scott in October 1987. Then we lost most of our net worth in the recession from 1990-1992. But with God’s help, I was able to focus, not on losses, but upon all the many blessings which God had bestowed upon me. In this time of recession/depression, I believe that it is a good time for all of us to reflect upon, and be grateful for, all the blessings that God has given us! I am certain that no member from Christ the King will miss a meal or sleep out in the cold at night. So at times like these, we need to do even more to reach out our hands and help the people who do have such problems!
PRAYER: Lord, keep us mindful of the words of Isaiah that say exalting you and seeking your guidance will bring out the best in us! Amen.
