Isaiah 28-30<\/a><\/p>\nDaily Thought<\/b><\/p>\n
I admit, I like cotton candy. It is one of the childhood delights we keep as adults. It is fun food. Well, maybe not food\u2013I looked up the recipe. The ingredients include 5 cups of granulated sugar, 1-\u2153 cups of light corn syrup, 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of water, food color paste, flavored oil, and baking spray. It then listed serving size 28g, calories 180, carbohydrates 28g, dietary fiber 0, sugars 28g.<\/p>\n
This all added up to the bottom line, \u201cNutritional Value: Zero.\u201d It said that on the label. You cannot live on cotton candy. You will die if you try to live on cotton candy.<\/p>\n
Prophets are not elected or appointed. They do not inherit the role or take it by force. They are assigned by God and their task is to tell the Truth. They speak the Word of the Lord, and for that, they are accountable only to God. This means they do not have to please the people, and often they do not. Isaiah has been speaking to \u201ca rebellious people, lying children, children unwilling to hear the instruction of the Lord; who say to the seers, \u2018Do not see,\u2019 and to the prophets, \u2018Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions\u2019\u201d (Isaiah 30:9-10).<\/p>\n
Rebellious people want cotton candy. For dinner.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth\u201d (2Timothy 4:3-4).\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nWe still do, and we are starving to death.<\/p>\n
Daily Prayer<\/b><\/p>\n
Heavenly Father, may I keep my eyes on You, the author of life. Because of my rebellion, You took the cross. You traveled the difficult road, You did not give in to the delightful temptations of Satan, but drank the cup of crucifixion.\u00a0I have got to quit giving in.<\/p>\n
There is this overflowing joy in Your Kingdom, and I long to drink from it, but I keep trading it in for things that are fun but don\u2019t last. Yours is the Name above every Name, but not always the popular Name. No matter, I will at all times pursue the joy of Heaven, even during the times it\u2019s not fun on earth.<\/p>\n
Amen<\/p>\n
