Scripture: Isaiah 29:15-16
Ha! You who hide a plan too deep for the Lord, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?” You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay? Shall the thing made say of its maker, “He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of the one who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
Thought for the Day: It is often said that the prophets turned the world on its head, and for many, that’s been their experience. But the prophets were often spinning the world – a world that had already turned things upside down – back around to the way God intended it. The spin may leave you queasy and disoriented, and the first reaction might be to spin it back to where it was. That’s only natural, but God is trying to bring a new normal that in fact was the original normal, but is not the normal that folks have accepted as normal. For that reason, it takes a little time to reorient ourselves to the new normal that was the original normal. Give it time, and you will see why God sees it as normal.
Prayer: I’ve taken my spiritual dramamine, and I am ready for you to spin my world, Lord. I trust you to orient my life as you would have it even when I might initially fight it as it doesn’t feel right. Just hold my hand, steady my feet, and let me gain my bearings. Amen.
