June 10 / Isaiah 3-5

Isaiah 3-5

For the look on their faces bears witness against them;
they proclaim their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.

Isaiah 3:9a

What month is this again?


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!

Isaiah 5:20

When you turn on the news or read an article, pay attention to the words that are used, and think long and hard about what is really meant by them. What is portrayed in a positive light — overtly or subtly? What is negative? Is that portrayal consistent with God’s perspective? Or are they calling evil good and good evil? If they are “upside down” in one area, how likely are they to be “upside up” anywhere else?

And then consider: Are you in any way contributing to the confusion?
