IN TIMES OF DESPERATION
Today's reading: Isaiah 18-22
"Judah's defenses have been stripped away. You run to the armory for your weapons. You inspect the walls of Jerusalem to see what needs to be repaired. You store up water in the lower pool. You check the houses and tear some down to get stone to fix the walls. Between the city walls, you build a reservoir for water from the old pool. But all your feverish plans are to no avail because you never ask God for help..." Isaiah 22:8-11 NLT
We are living in unprecedented times.
Worry is on the face of most every one you meet. Fear looms over us like Eeyore's cloud. Hateful words and act spill our of hearts consumed with 'what-ifs'.
We think we are prepared. We stock up on food. We take the recommended vaccines. We have enough toilet paper to last three lifetimes. We wash our hands. We mask up. We stay home when we are feeling sickly. We avoid crowds.
But have we sought God?
Have we really and truly, personally and collectively, intentionally and consistently, sought after God?
