2 Oct 2013; Isa 66 and Psalm 74

In a contrast, Isa 66 speaks about a new Jerusalem, about a God who jealously defends himself  and about making all things new.

Psalm 74, speaks from a man perspective about the destruction that takes place and question God why He allows these to takes place and even allows the temple to be destroyed.

If we read just Psalm 74, we laments at the evil of the world, we question where is God and why all these has occurred.

I just finished reading the book of Isaiah. God warns of the destruction. he permits these evil. But He also promised the return of the king.

In good times, nobody will laments about like Psalm 74. Even the Godly has nothing to cry out to God about. I bad times, why o why?

But the God, is a faithful God. There is no way he can stands evil, so do not test the Lord your God. The God we served has no room for evil.

I mentioned, soon I will be called uncle. What is left are the remaining years. I do not want to see destruction in the remaining years. I know my god is faithful, and as He said in Isaiah, unless the Lord gives us a remnant, else we will be like Sodom and Gomorrah.

Let the remaining times be spent serving the Lord and purposefully pursuing the things of God.

I have to tone down, to slow down, I have enough. The Lord has provided for the good years, let no evil come (because we have no God) to destroy what we have. In Isa 66, let our offering be pleasing, let our actions be pleasing. Endure for the new heaven and earth.
