If there’s a God in heaven…
About 3,000 years ago, God, speaking through the Old Testament prophet Isaiah, said, “These people claim to worship me, but their words are meaningless, and their hearts are somewhere else. Their religion is nothing but human rules and traditions.” God could see that His people no longer knew the meaning of fellowship with Him—they had become deaf and blind to Him. Some 800 years later, God would repeat Himself; In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus quotes the prophet Isaiah nearly word for word. I’m sure that God detects much of the same sentiment in our post-modern, technologically-advanced, follow- the-science existence today—our hearts are somewhere else. It seems tragic, but easy enough, to see our world as one of little more than hungry eyes, cheating hearts, and lying lips.
