Isaiah
2:1-10
V8
Their land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to
what their won fingers have made.
We
can look around at the things we own, or our bank accounts, or our pantrys and
think we have it made. We are doing ok. Yet, we never acknowledge that all good
flows from God’s hand to ours. We assume that “we” have amassed all this, and
that “we” have made sure we have enough. Yet, if God had not willed us to have
it we would not. It’s a pretty vain statement for us to make that gives us any
credit to what “we” have achieved. But that’s exactly what Isaiah is talking
about here. The Children of Israel were basking in all the things that had
achieved and had forgotten the God that gave it to them. Sounds familiar right?
