Isaiah 18-22<\/a><\/p>\nDaily Thought<\/b><\/p>\n
Isaiah continues with chapter upon chapter of God\u2019s judgment against nation upon nation; and so one may wonder why is God so judgmental? What have they done that is so bad?<\/p>\n
Back in Genesis, the Garden, the beginning, God issued several commands to obey. They were God\u2019s design for life on earth. First, he said, \u201cBe fruitful and multiply and fill the earth\u201d (Genesis 1:28). Mind you, he said this to a married couple, and he commanded them to have sex, and a lot of it. That does not sound like a mean God. Then he said, \u201cI have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food\u201d (Genesis 1:29). He told us to eat, and to eat a lot\u2013not gluttony, but quite a feast. After that, he made a day holy, the seventh day (later, it would be called the Sabbath), to rest. Right off the bat he told us to take a break once a week. Again, not so bad. We can do a lot of just about everything. Finally, he said, \u201cYou may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die\u201d (Genesis 2:16-17). God lives large and his limitations are small. One tree, one piece of fruit. That is all.<\/p>\n
We chose that tree. We keep choosing the forbidden tree. All sin is choosing the tree, and though it seems there are a lot of ways to sin, it is all the lone tree. We miss this feast for a piece of fruit. These nations are living small. They say, “There is joy and revelry,\u00a0 slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine! ‘Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die!'” (Isaiah 22:13). Turn out the lights, the party’s over. That is the fruit, party until you die. They allow what is unnatural and unlawful to become their norm, then wonder at the consequences.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, for those who choose God:<\/p>\n
God says, \u201cOn this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare
\na feast of rich food for all peoples,
\na banquet of aged wine-
\nthe best of meats and the finest of wines.
\nHe will swallow up death forever.
\nThe Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears
\nfrom all faces.\u201d ~Isaiah 25:6, 8<\/i><\/p>\n
Both the ungodly and the godly party. The difference is one party ends when the other is just getting started. And lasts forever.<\/p>\n
Daily Prayer<\/b><\/p>\n
My God in heaven, Your Name is Wonderful. I put all my trust, all my life in Your Name. I gladly exchange anything life has to offer me today for eternity with You. I have only just tasted Your glory here on earth. What will it be like when I am in Your presence. What a party!<\/p>\n
To You, all glory and majesty, honor and praise.<\/p>\n
Amen<\/p>\n
Daily Question<\/b><\/p>\n
If you were the Garden in place of Adam or Eve, would you have eaten the forbidden fruit? Why do you think you would or wouldn’t?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
