Scripture:
Isaiah 57

Observation:
This passage by Isaiah was basically talking about Israel's sinful
deeds including their idol worship of man-made gods. God was angry at
them for it, but still showed that he was a God who understands, who
loves and who forgives his people.

Application:
What people are doing today are no different from what people then
were doing. We constantly worship idols of the material world, while
God only exists when problems arise. I think one thing to do is to
prioritize things in our lives, and God should be at the top of the
list.

Prayer:
God, thank you for your everlasting mercy and love for your people.
We've taken you for granted for so many decades, yet you've never
failed to forgive us for our trespasses. Open up our spiritual eyes
and ears to see and listen to what you want to tell us, let us be
sensitive to your words as we live our daily lives. Amen.
