Isaiah 36
Chapter 36 talks alot about war but one thing that stood out to me is when Hezekiah says to Judah and Jerusalem that "You must worship only at this one alter". I had to stop and think in my own life what things get in the way of truly worshipping God and all that He is to us. Distractions often plays a role, even as I type this my daughter has brought cheerios, a crayon, and a water bottle for me to look at with her. But even in the midst of life's everyday activities, we have the ability to worship at the one alter. For me maybe I could have more prayer time in the car on the way to work or remind my daughter that the trees and flowers we are seeing coming to life are all gifts from God. I can worship God with my time by finding ways to volunteer and serve. Opportunities to worship at the one alter Hezekiah references above are all around us in every day life. We just have to take a minute and look around :).

We are to worship and praise God and God alone.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I get from this reading. Those who are confronted with insurmountable odds are told to submit to these earthly rulers or suffer their wrath. Faith in the Lord is the only answer whether it's during Isaiah's time or our own.
