Scripture Isaiah 28:15 Because you have said, \u201cWe have made a covenant with death,
\nAnd with Sheol we are in agreement.
\nWhen the overflowing scourge passes through,
\nIt will not come to us,
\nFor we have made lies our refuge,
\nAnd under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.\u201d <\/p>\n
Observation: It\u2019s as if Isaiah is talking to our government today. So many of our leaders it appears have made a pact with the devil and feel they are untouchable. They feel they can do and say whatever they want and hide behind their lies. The people suffer and are helpless from this evil, because we feel we have no power and must go along.<\/p>\n
Application: I need to stop feeling self-defeated and turn to God for direction. My Lord is all powerful and He knows what is happening. I need to rest in the assurance that He will judge righteously the evil and the good. I need to stay focused that this is not my home and that I\u2019m a temporary resident of this place.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord I\u2019m so tired and weary and each day I cause a burden instead of a blessing. Help me Lord stay focused on You and your desire for the life you have blessed me with. May I finish the race in glory and honor to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
