Reading: Isaiah 46-47, Psalm 35, Acts 3, and 1 Corinthians 13
Scripture: Isaiah 46:6-7, Those who lavish gold from the purse, and weigh out silver in the scales, hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god; then they fall down and worship! They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it, they set it in its place, and it stands there; it cannot move from its place. If one cries to it, it does not answer or save him from his trouble.
Thoughts: Here again Isaiah is writing about something being turned into a god, we have had wood and now gold and sliver being taken to be sculpted into gods. Then he goes on to say how these gods are needing to be picked up and lifted into place, where they can not move and in the end when you cry out, it does not move, it does not answer, and it does not save you from anything. What are we following, the Science or the one who created the science, are we holding tight to the creator or the created?
Prayer: Lord God, you are the creator of all things, you are deserving of all honor and praise and worship. I lay my life before you, take it and let it be a light shining in a dark world. Help me to grow that I may point to you better to reflect you.
