Isaiah - Day 28

Scripture:  Isaiah 1:28 (NIV):  "But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the LORD will perish."

Thought:  To me, God is quite straightforward.  He does not mince words.  I for one am grateful for that, even though this kind of language is unpopular.

Question:  Have I forsaken the LORD?

There are always those who resist even the finest love from God.  Here God explains that they will "be broken" and "will perish".  God owns the power to break and destroy any of His creatures that turn against Him.

If the Great God of Love, Who created us and our world, is our only Source, we are indeed foolish to rebell against Him.  What could we possibly gain?  And in rebellion, what will we lose?  This verse clearly states that life itself will be lost.  To resist and cross God is to be broken and to perish.  To forsake God is to put your soul to death.

Prayer:  Father, I do not want to be on record as a rebel or unconfessing, unrepentant sinner!  I know You will forgive any sin, great or small, if I but let it go.  Help me always to do that.  Amen.
