Isaiah 46

I spent less than 3 minutes reading this short chapter. Isaiah opens this passage by proclaiming how man-made objects of worship are always a burden, but our God is the lifter of burdens. This truth not only applies to the idols of falses religions, but also the realities of those other objects of worship; possessions, appearance, power, social status, and careers just to name a few. All of these things are burdensome; none of them are liberating. Though some may satisfy part of our life for a while, if we pursue them without recognizing God as the provider of each, we will find each of them empty, and unfruitful. When they stand outside of God's will; in the end each of these things lead only to death.
