Isaiah 24 V 17 - 23

Terror, and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!
  • You are officially caught between a rock and a hard place.
  • You are like a deer caught in a headlight
  • Nothing good can come from this
I woke up tonight to let the dogs go out for their (now) nightly business, which I sometimes dread, fearing there may be a skunk involved. There wasn't tonight and the time out was fairly short so I took it as a sort of victory. Then I made the mistake of reading Isaiah 24, verses 17-23. Ok, now how do I get back to sleep, I don't need to get up until 5:00am. Here is Isaiah telling me that I can run but I can't hide.

Wait..... I'm not one of the kings on earth, not by a long shot do I see myself as a pagan god. I can move on to Isaiah 25:
 "O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things,"; but if there are any kings of earth lurking about, watch out, God is here ready to shake things up.

I will sleep again tonight knowing God loves me.
