Here's the scripture that stuck this week:
Isaiah 41:21-24 The Message
21-24"Set out your case for your gods," says God.
"Bring your evidence," says the King of Jacob.
"Take the stand on behalf of your idols, offer arguments,
assemble reasons.
Spread out the facts before us
so that we can assess them ourselves.
Ask them, 'If you are gods, explain what the past means—
or, failing that, tell us what will happen in the future.
Can't do that?
How about doing something—anything!
Good or bad—whatever.
Can you hurt us or help us? Do we need to be afraid?'
They say nothing, because they are nothing—
sham gods, no-gods, fool-making gods.
"They say nothing, because they are nothing-"
As a believer in the one true God, idolatry is one of the most stupid things we do, yet we do it. The flesh can be very stupid.
What's your Word?
