February 22 - Isaiah 47

a woman is used as a metaphor for the city. No longer will this city be a city of blinding lights, fun, luxury... hmm.. something like NYC?from http://www.nyc.gov/html/unccp/scp/html/sc/main.shtml

There will come an end to the glitz and glamour of living the life the way you want to live it. You calling the shots. You being your own god or making up your gods and so making up the rules you will live by..

We can say to ourselves (especially in the safety and security of our lives) that nothing can happen to us:
"I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children." (v. 8b)
It can never happen to me.. it can happen to everyone else but me.

Well, it can. Who will save you?

Our Redeemer - the LORD Almighty is his name - is the Holy One of Israel.

Do you believe it?

  1. i do agree.
    we are so inside of our world with our idols and gods that we make, which shouldn't be happening.

    (secular music, ipods, phones, tv, shopping, friends, money)

    glitz and glamour wont be here forever, but GOD will be here forever in our lives <3

  2. i agree to. we always see other things as more significant and important than God in our lives that we treat those material things as a god. I guess that is what lent is for. to bring out the true power of our Lord when we put aside our lusts and desires. and if you think about it, nothing lasts forever except God. For example, a panasonic toughbook. Even though it is waterproof and shockproof and whatever, it will eventually break down. Not God though.
