"Whom did you dread and fear, that you told lies, And me you did not remember nor take to heart? Am I to keep silent and conceal, while you show no fear of me? I will proclaim your justice and your works; but they shall not help you. When you cry out, let your collection of idols save you. All these the wind shall carry off, a mere breath shall bear them away; But whoever takes refuge in me shall inherit the land, and possess my holy mountain." Isaiah 57:11-13
Isaiah 57:3-13 The Holy Mountain. I spent a little time in self examination this morning, in what ways am I putting things, desires, wants, pleasures in front of God. Isaiah watched a people slowly slip away from God and make their own idols, something that they could control. We do the same thing, just look inward and see the idols that are trying to take hold or already have. Are you trying to control the situation? God looks and knows the outcome, calamity will come and all that will be gone in a blink of an eye but God will still be there. Where you spend your time is a great indicator of what has a hold of you. Does time with God come first?
What is God saying to me: It easily slips away and then the heart grows cold and before you know it, I am at a distance watching and waiting. In My presence there is peace, Moses found Me on the holy mountain and was transformed, you as well.
Dear Lord, I love You with all my heart, I see the treachery of the evil one as he tries to steal our time. He is cunning at his ways but with You each day there is reassurance that all us well. I ask for help Lord in my prayer life, You know the struggle and you know the answer. What is the solution? You have solved every other situation we have been through together and this one will be no different. Thank You Father for another great start to my day, I can't imagine that You and I never talked and You looked on from a distance. Bless this day Lord, give us insight into the next step. Prayers for a friend struggling to grow, stretching is never easy. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us.
