Isaiah 44:6-23 True God and True Man.


"It is used for fuel: with some of the wood he warms himself, makes a fire and bakes bread. Yet he makes a god and worships it, turns it into an idol and adores it! Half of it he burns in the fire, on its embers he roasts meat; he eats the roast and is full. He warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm! I see the flames!" The rest of it he makes into a god, an image to worship and adore. He prays to it and says, "Help me! You are my god!" They do not know, do not understand; their eyes are too clouded to see, their minds, to perceive."  ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭44:15-18‬

Isaiah 6-23  True God and True Man.  Can we make God into our image and likeness?  The obvious answer is no but do our actions and beliefs share this Truth?  Everybody wants to be happy and that need to be happy allows us to go around and find that which fits our beliefs.  God forbid in this day and age that we are challenged and made to feel uncomfortable.  True God does not seek to make you comfortable, He seeks to challenge you, to make you think and use the intellect He gave you to find the Truth.  I see a world trying to define Truth when the only real Truth is what God teaches.  If it is comfort you seek then these verses fit.  We can not make God into our image and likeness, it is the other way around.  God transforms us into His image and likeness, without that occurring in your life, it is just a warm feeling with no substance.  To deny Church teachings is to deny Christ.

What is God saying to me: The pearl of great price requires effort and the desire to find it, use your intellect and be challenged. I Am God.  "Thus says the LORD, Israel's king, its redeemer, the LORD of hosts: I am the first, I am the last; there is no God but me."
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭44:6‬

Dear Father, You who began a good work within each of us will see it through to the end, it will accomplish what You desire for we belong to You, we are Yours.  You are the keeper of my soul, leading me into Your heart, teach me Your ways O'Lord, it isn't comfort I seek but to please You.  Prayers for a world being challenged and in the middle of a battle, Jesus I trust in You, True God and True Man.  Thank You for the blessings this day has to offer, I will give You the effort and will rely upon You for the result.   I ask this in Jesus's name, Amen.

Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Glory of Home Life, Pray for us.




Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.  1 John 4:4b
