Yes, I know your all extremely disappointed with me. I haven't lived up to my promises of posting every other day. I hope to change that, the key word is hope. I finally got settled in at home and have some time to sit down, think, and read. If you don't do this, you should. As crazy as it might sound to you, it really does help to process your life. If you didn't know already, my computer also crashed about a week ago and it took me some time to get it working again. But, I did. So that has also prolonged my little break from posting.
All that aside I have been seeing some interesting things in Isaiah. What I want to share with you for today is something I came across in Chapter 3:6 He talks about grabbing someone that has a nice cloak and putting them in a leadership position. When sin is all around the people they just look for anyone to be a leader among them, as long as they look the part. Definitely not a good thing to just put someone that "looks" right in front of the church. Looking right and being righteous can't me mixed together. I think we focus a little to much about what we look like on Sundays, and throughout the week for that matter, and we focus no even close to close enough of being righteous before the Lord. We need to being Dressing Up spiritually before anything else. Think about Jesus, He was a plain guy. But, he was righteous. People came for miles to see a righteous man, not a man that "looked right."
So, I pretty sure most people know this about me, but, I really don't think it matters what you wear on sundays. Whether your hair is pink or brown, or if you have gauged ear lobes or tattoos. None of that really matters to me, in my life. What really does matter is if we are righteous before our heavenly Father. Thanks to Jesus Christ, we can be.
Just a little something from my many thoughts coming from this amazing book.
God be praised!
