The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 66:17
"Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,
following one who is among those
who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things—
they will meet their end together with the one they follow," declares the Lord.
(The Lord knows the hypocrisy and duplicity of those who,
on the one hand, avow their devotion to the Lord,
while, on the other hand, practice unholy and sinful acts.
The description here is a reference to the practices involved in idol worship
and the special preparations required
before the idol followers were considered ready
to engage in the worship practices.
What they forget and what we, too, often forget
is that the Lord sees not only our actions, but our hearts as well.
We cannot and will not ever escape His notice or His attention.
He knows who we are and what we do.
He knows the darkest places in our hearts.
Yet, His greatest desire is that we yield to Him,
that we accept His plan for our lives,
that we worship Him in spirit and in truth,
and that we walk out the righteousness and purity that He gives us in Christ.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
