Morning Light - Isaiah 57

Today: [Isaiah 57] The High and Lofty Place in God. In today’s chapter Isaiah condemns the godlessness of the people and declares that their idolatrous ways will bring them to destruction, regardless of their refusals to accept the consequences of their actions. We can look around us and see throughout all levels of society that men and institutions of government mock and scorn the salvation that you and I hold dear. The world believes it doesn’t matter what they believe or how they live because in their view they are accountable to none but their own sinful tendencies. Isaiah defies this false standard of righteousness, declaring the judgment of God upon those who reject Him and the clemency and mercy of God upon all those who come to Christ and Christ alone with contrition on their lips and humility in their hearts.
