Here's the scripture that stuck this week:
Isaiah 50:1-3 The Message
1-3 God says: "Can you produce your mother's divorce papers
proving I got rid of her?
Can you produce a receipt
proving I sold you?
Of course you can't.
It's your sins that put you here,
your wrongs that got you shipped out.
So why didn't anyone come when I knocked?
Why didn't anyone answer when I called?
Do you think I've forgotten how to help?
Am I so decrepit that I can't deliver?
I'm as powerful as ever,
and can reverse what I once did:
I can dry up the sea with a word,
turn river water into desert sand,
And leave the fish stinking in the sun,
stranded on dry land . . .
Turn all the lights out in the sky
and pull down the curtain."
We can definitely be God-blamers when the chips are down. Ironically, we blame God for the injustices of the world, when we really are to blame.
What's your Word?
