 July 29 – Delusion - Isaiah 44:12-20

 

     Isaiah then points out the obvious.  The blacksmith goes to his forge.  He makes the coals hot and

then begins his work.  He gets hungry and needs water to keep him working.  He takes his tools and then

begins to make a human form to create a shrine.  He cuts down a tree.  He creates a fire for his food and

uses the same tree or form an idol.  When the idol is made, he bows down to it and prays to it and asks

it to save or bless him.  Both know nothing.

     The idol worshipper eyes are plastered with sin, and they cannot see.  Their minds are closed so they

Understand.  No one thinks, has knowledge, or understands. They take a block of wood and create a fire

And in the same time period create and idol and worship it.  Their heart is deluded and mislead.  They

Are living a lie and cannot be saved because of their delusion.
