You Can't Fool God!

On the other hand, we can rebel from the ways of the Lord and we can resist his teachings. The choice is ours. However, given the choices that we have and those are consent and obedience as opposed to resistance and rebellion we also have to consider the consequences. We can look at the consequences and are choices should become obvious. If we rebel and resist, then we will suffer the loss of blessings and we will fall by the sword, this is God’s Word, it is not the word of Isaiah, and it is certainly not the word of Ralf. We can consent to God’s way, we can be obedient to God’s way, and if this is the route we wish to follow, this Scriptures says we will taste the finest of the land. Two choices with two sets of consequences.

Call to Commitment:

As we close this evening, let’s open up the altar of prayer. We look at this message out of the book of Isaiah and we should ask ourselves some questions.

We all know that we live in an evil world, in an evil time. We also know that God’s word is true and God’s word is right even in the situation that we find ourselves in today. Are we living our lives according to God’s Scripture? Perhaps there are some areas in our lives that could use some correction, some direction, or he even a major overhaul. If that is in need then why not lay it down at the foot of the cross.

Perhaps as these words were spoken this evening, we understand the shallowness of our worship, maybe through this all we see that we are not giving God all that is due him. Maybe we are not all what we seem to be when we are in the company of our brothers and sisters, if that is the need this evening then why let it burden us any longer? Give it to Jesus!

If there is anything in our lives that is contrary to God’s will, to God’s word, to God’s desire for us, then let this be the evening that we set it all aside, and give ourselves fully to the control of God.

Let these be the words of our prayer!!
