Day 168: Isaiah 18-22

God calls people to repentance. Hope and forgiveness can be found - in fact it is promised - if we repent and turn to Him. Why is repentance too much to ask for so many people? They would rather live their short lives on their own terms and trade eternity away...much like Esau selling his birthright for a bowl of soup.
The Lord, the LORD Almighty,
   called you on that day
to weep and to wail,
   to tear out your hair and put on sackcloth.
But see, there is joy and revelry,
   slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep,
   eating of meat and drinking of wine!
“Let us eat and drink,” you say,
   “for tomorrow we die!” (22:12-13)
We need to do everything we can to keep an eternal perspective on this life...it can have many joys but it is so fleeting.

I want more.

Through the grace of God I can have more.

Infinitely more.
