Reading: Isaiah 44
My Verse: "He feeds on ashes;
a deluded heart has led him astray,
and he cannot deliver himself or say,
"Is there not a lie in my right hand?" (Isaiah 44:20)
This is such a tragic verse! Oh, LORD God, too many are here - too many live with deluded hearts and minds, unable to rescue themselves from the lie they live.
The previous passage to this verse describes the whole process a man goes through to end up in this deluded state. The process that brings one; to worshipping idols, to a life dominated by some created thing, to a life with a reality that is progressively more and more warped - deluded.
Oh, LORD God, You keep reminding us of Who You are.
"I am the first and I am the last;
besides me there is no other god" (Isaiah 43:6).
"Is there a God besides me?
there is no Rock; I know not any" (Isaiah 43:8).
"I am the LORD, who made all things,
Who alone stretched out the heavens,
Who spread out the earth by Myself" (Isaiah 44:24).
This is the most wonderful and freeing truth a man can know! This is the truth that frees us from the bondages that the enemy seeks to keep us in! We can be cleansed and forgiven.
"I, I Am He
Who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
and I will not remember your sins" (Isaiah 43:25).
Sin is a delusion and a lie. Bondage to sin is a delusion and a lie. You, LORD God can and will free those who cry out to You and ask forgiveness. (Romans 10:9-13) Then we can be free and rejoice!
What a most wonderful thing that You do for us LORD God!
"I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
and your sins like a mist" (Isaiah 44:22).
"As far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed our transgressions from us" (Psalm 103:12).
This is what we all want forgiveness and that resulting joy and relief.
"Sing, O heavens, for the LORD has done it;
shout, O depths of the earth;
break forth into singing, O mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!" (Isaiah 44:23).
Even the angels rejoice when we repent.
"In the same way, I tell you,
there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (Luke 15:10).
Thank You, LORD God for this wonderful truth. We do not need to live with deluded hearts and minds!
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
