People are not gods.
People love to play
gods and believe they have powers within themselves to predict things, to
control things. Time and time again we are shown that it just isn't true. The following verses talk about the wicked…
Isa 47:9 But these
two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and
widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of
thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
Isa 47:10 For thou
hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and
thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am,
and none else beside me.
Isa 47:11 Therefore
shall evil come upon thee;
thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee;
thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee
suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
Isa 47:12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with
the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if
so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
Isa 47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy
counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators,
stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
Isa 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire
shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame:
there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Isa 47:15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou
hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one
to his quarter; none shall save thee.
The wicked say- none see me.
The wicked think nothing evil in sorceries and
enchantments.
The wicked believe they are the I AM.
The wicked believe they will be saved- but not by God.
So many of the wicked do not believe in God.
So many of the wicked do not believe they are wicked.
So many of the wicked have embraced others of like
mind and the delusions they have engulfed themselves in are so strong they will
never let the light of truth shine upon them.
Evil exists.
The wicked exist.
The wicked will perish, there is no other recourse for
those who choose evil, for those who choose self.
We may NOT think we are wicked or have wicked
tendencies but our hearts are wicked-
Jer_17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked: who can know it?
This is truth!
God must create in
us clean hearts, we cannot create them in ourselves.
We have filth that
can't be washed by ourselves, we must be washed.
Our stained garments
must be removed by God, not us.
Our Savior does the
saving- we LET HIM.
We cannot forget the
wicked exist. That wickedness is a reality.
Please Father, help
us to remember NOT to call evil good, no matter who much the world has twisted
it to appear so.
FORGIVE ME.
By Your mercy, Your
grace, Your love!
In the name of our
SAVIOR- Jesus Christ our Lord!
Amen.
