September 21, 2022 – Ps 90, Pr 19, Isa 5

May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalms 90:17 NIV

What a great daily prayer!

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Isaiah 5:20 NIV

Again speaking to the time of Sodom, the time we just read about in Isaiah and today. Woe!!!! How much evil is called good and good called evil!

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent.
Isaiah 5:21‭-‬23 NIV

Those who are wise in their own eyes will see what they want to see and do what they want to do and say it is okay because only they decide what is right in their own eyes. It starts off with making right things that most people will call wrong. Drunkenness, taking bribes, and lying for the benefit of the guilty. Then it just continues to grow to where we are today.

Calling evil good and good evil. Such a sad and painful truth.
