Isaiah 40:18-22

Here in the book of Isaiah, Isaiah writes about the people abandoning God to worship Idols. He explains how the rich had crafted Idols out of gold and precious medals but even the poor had started crafting their own idols out of wood and other things because they could not afford the precious medals. God lets us know that he created everything for us and yet they and we fail to worship Him. I believe that verse 26 is very important to this thought.

Isaiah 40:26--"Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry hose one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and might strength, not one of them is missing."

God knows each and every one of the starts by name how much more do you think that he knows you? I believe that the components of nature can be a constant reminder of how much God cares about us. Event though we realize that God loves and cares about each and every one of us we still like the Israelites fail to follow God and we end up following something else in this world, I guess you could say that we invent our own idols. Let me leave you with two questions for today.

1. Why do we abandon God and pursue worship of meaningless things?

2. What things do we worship instead of God?

IN HIM <><
