5 Minutes a day / 5 Days a week

with God

Isaiah 5:20

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!

This verse is so much like today.
In world and especially in the USA they tell you that evil is good and that good is evil.
Now they don't come right out and say it, but if you think about it, they do it subtly.
The world says that sex outside of marriage is ok, with as many people as you want as long as you do it with protection.
The world says that drinking and even getting drunk is ok; as long as you don't drive, but if you do plan on getting drunk and are away from home then they say to designate someone to drive. (I'm going to go sin, will you drive me home)
The world say to get ahead in life and even walk over others to get there, no matter who it hurts.
The world says to have sexual stuff on regular TV, you know the channels you don't have to pay for, just don't show complete nudity and they even show children that are disobedient and talk back to their parents who are made out to be fools, and they call this entertainment. But it ok because they put a rating on the shows.

The world laughs at those who go to church instead of sleeping in on Sunday.
They say that we Christians take all the fun out of things and live boring lives.
They say that you don't need religion to get to heaven, just be a good person.

We could go on and on, but if you just look around for just one day and seek the things that the world calls good, and compare it to the bible, then you will find that today's devotional verse is so true.

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!

But also examine yourself and ask if you are doing the same thing by condoning some of these things?
