March 4 - Isaiah 57

Our world is so full of sin... and sometimes it seems as if we really enjoy everything that is "sin"

What makes good TV? Violence, drama, injustice, sex...
If a TV show were about righteousness.. well, let's just say that there are things like that and you would never find it bringing in lots of money.

Why is there such an obsession with sin such as the ones mentioned in vv. 3-13?
Why do we love the things that God hates? Why do we think it's entertaining - when really it's destructive to the very minds and bodies God has given to us?

Do you love or enjoy or find as entertainment the things God hates?
Does watching dishonorable TV shows, cartoons, youtube videos make you laugh? Maybe it's time to examine your heart... why do you find this funny? God wouldn't find this funny..
Ask yourself = Would God think this was entertaining? Would He laugh? Or, would He be utterly disappointed?

May we seek after God's heart to know His heart first.

  1. After reading Isaiah for the past 50 years, I realized that within the meaning of all of this destruction is the message God is trying to teach us.
