Day 213: Is 21:17 - 25:12

In chapter 22, Isaiah brings up a very interesting subject. He makes the observation that the people have been looking and looking, but they never looked to the One who could truly save them. It's sad to say that so many thousands of people, saved and unsaved alike, seem to exhaust every single resource available to them before they turn to God. I see so many people every single day doing everything they can to get more money or gain more influence or be a better person, but they've totally lost the focus of everything. This seems to be a big issue with believers because so many of us spend alot of time trying to find out what God has called us to. And then once we've figured it out, we ignore and forget about everything except for the call itself. We end up devoting everything we have to the "commission" on our lives and don't leave any room for the One who commissioned us. There are alot of believers out there who just need to stop trying to fix things and just let the Creator take over.

- Lord, help me to stop trying to make things work for myself, and just back up and let You take care of them. I know that You are all-powerful and if I will just get out of your way, You can do everything in me that You have planned. -
