Isaiah 44

In light of Isa 44:5 I find it interesting to note that the most popular baby boy's name in the US is Jacob. In verse 21 of this same chapter God calls out to Jacob; remember the worthlessness of making your servant the one who you worship. The example he uses is that of wood. Which God provided humanity to warm themselves and cook their food. But sinful mankind took his servant and shaped it into an object of worship. Don't we do the same things today? Those things which are intended to strengthen us in our service to God become the sources of our value. We depend upon the things of creation to define our worth rather than our creator.
