"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"
Isaiah 5:20-21
The combination of these two verses is interesting. When Isaiah talks about people calling evil good and good evil, it seems like those people are being intentionally deceptive, but with the next verse you stop and wonder. Do they really believe that? ... Do *we* really believe that?
Warnings like this make it clear how important it is to trust in and rely on God, who cannot lie, and is the source of all truth. He can help us see clearly... past the confusion and darkness to the light and hope, and to know what truly matters.
Today, let's not trust only in our own wisdom and sight, but rely on God's higher perspective and ability to see truths that might decieve us. Let's pray for clarity, and then act on it, even when it is hard to admit that we were wrong. Let's choose God's path and not wander off on our own.
