Isaiah 19

God wants total obedience to him from the Egyptians. In reality he wants this from all of his people. When his anger is turned toward us we should be mightily scared. I marvel at the people who have no faith, who follow their own human wants and needs. I can understand those who have never heard of God, who are not Christians, but those that have heard, and know of his power and his glory. Who have read the bible or have at least heard the stories.

When people ask me why I believe or why I have Faith I often fumble for an answer. It is hard to put into words why I have Faith and believe in God. I grew up in the church is most often my first response. But then I go on to explain how I marvel at all of the wonders of our world and how could you not believe that there is a higher power who created all of this and who continues to take care of this planet? To me it is just logical, not so to others.

So when I read in the bible about these ancient people who did not believe and who worshipped many other Gods I can understand why God would treat them as he threatens to. Especially when he showed his power to these people and they stil refuse to believe.

I think it is even harder for us today to keep our Faith strong. Thousands of years have passed since Jesus. Yet there is something there that keeps us faithful and keeps us coming to worship him. My belief is that God is working through us and in us to keep us close to him. Thank you God for sharing your love with us so that we remain faithful to you and to Jesus.
