Good Morning “Shout Alouders”. Today we are in Isaiah 44.
It’s been a hard, heartbreaking week. We are reminded of the depth to which our world has sunk. Our world needs Jesus, plain and simple. Sounds cliche coming from a Pastor I know. Nevertheless consider the Truth of that statement. Apart from the Saving Grace of God through Jesus (John 3:16-17, Ephesians 2:8-9), and the indwelling of The Holy Spirit (John 16:13), each one does what they believe is right in their own minds (Judges 17:6, Judges 21:15).
The problem is without Jesus, our hearts are wicked (Jeremiah 17:9), we are inherently selfish and ultimately seek our own welfare (James 4:1-4). What we believe is “right in our own minds” is selfishly based, in short - it’s wrong. Such belief aligns us with the evil one, even making us his tool (James 4:7-8). On the contrary with Jesus, and The Holy Spirit in us, by The Word of God - we can know Truth. We can know and understand the BEST He has for us! Our thinking and thus our actions can be rightly transformed (Joshua 1:8, Romans 12:1-2).
In light of this week, consider Gods Word through Isaiah.
“This is what the Lord says - Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.” Isaiah 44:6 NIV
If the god we worship is not the One True God… we have NOTHING, no foundation to even stand on. No right beginning to even start living.
All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.”
Isaiah 44:9 NIV
The ONLY thing standing between us and Jesus is our sin - but He’s taken care of that too…
“I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.” Sing for joy, you heavens, for the Lord has done this; shout aloud, you earth beneath. Burst into song, you mountains, you forests and all your trees, for the Lord has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel.” Isaiah 44:22-23 NIV
Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9, 8:1
Love you all! Dig in!
