What Can Be Done?

Isaiah 1:7  

"Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: 

your land, strangers devour it in your presence, 

and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers."

    Isaiah gave hope of salvation to people of Judah at a time when the northern kingdom of Israel had falling prey to Assyria. His mission spanned the reigns of four kings: Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah. But Isaiah's prophetic vision looked far beyond those times of trouble. His words offered comfort to a future generation. 

    The wickedness was universal. They were a sinful nation; the people were vicious and profane.  In the management of their public treaties abroad, and in the administration of public justice at home, they were corrupt. My Friend, This is a statement of God's intent: Israel will be righteous. In  (verses Is. 1:18-20), the Lord reveals that Israel will either become righteous through repentance or will achieve their purification through judgment. And today that battle rages on with the Capital of  Israel being moved to Jerusalem. There are many against one! Does that ring a bell?

    My Friends, As we look forward, we see God's word unfolding before us. Words and Actions are waging between Nations. Governments are failing and Democracy is gone. Nuclear war is in the horizon.  What can be done?  This My Friend!        

    The conviction of sinfulness which the prophet desired to secure, then as we should be doing today was sought, not by appealing to a code of laws which had been transgressed, but by showing True Love (God's Love) and gratitude to our Father in Heaven!  As I close today, I say this: "The backsliding of those who have professed relations to God are very provoking to Him and all departures from Him and opposition to Him are met by the constant manifestation of His goodness and mercy toward the backslider. Those who will break off their allegiance with sin are always welcome to come back to fellowship with Him."  God Have Mercy Upon Our Nations.

Amen!
