Today’s Thought “National Repentance” G. Ward

Isaiah 5

²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

 

The Prophet Isaiah was compelled by Holy God to exclaim (for Israel), that the Lords’ sight is far greater than foolish agenda’s forecast (*cf. Ps.139:3-5). Moreover, the Holy One would give HIS own a host of judgments that couldn’t be thwarted and whereas immoralities became ever-encompassing for these; particularly how they would justify with horrid rationalizing – that to which was opposite of the Lord’s demands, would soon be captive in a strange, unruly land; because of such lack in obedience.

Most in our era love to harp on great advancements for our world, while yet speaking to moral decline from ingrates as solely responsible; as if their contribution is so much greater. What perceivably is a moral climate to be proud of, will usually stem from what other men deem appropriate; causing more degeneration furthered. Instead, greatest compliance onto His testimonies remains the answer (Ps.119:2). We better run fast to that actuality.
