Isaiah 46:5-7 “To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal? Some people pour out their silver and gold and hire a craftsman to make a god from it. Then they bow down and worship it! They carry it around on their shoulders, and when they set it down, it stays there. It can’t even move! And when someone prays to it, there is no answer. It can’t rescue anyone from trouble.”
Yet my children continue to worship these gods. Gods of their own creation. Money. Power. Fame. Sexual pleasure. Addictive drugs and activities. Love. Youth. Safety. Health. Shopping. Careers. Politics. So many gods in your lives. So many items and activities you bow down to, you serve. Yet, they do not help your lives in any lasting way. They just rob your lives of what is important: a relationship with me, integrity, trustworthiness, honesty, relationships with others – marriages, parenthood, friendships, familial bonds. And you turn a blind eye to the reality of your choices. What you consider richness is, in light of your eternal souls, poverty. Pray for eyes to see and hearts to understand. Pray that your world would wake up, that the veil would be torn from their eyes, that the truth of what they choose would be evident and impossible to ignore. Pray for wisdom, discernment, right thinking. Pray for repentance and salvation.
