What I must to do to have the Lord like my enemy
Isaiah 29:14
“I will give a great lesson the those faked, a lesson that will leave them of open mouth”.
The book of Isaiah is a book that speaks a lot to my heart and I decided to begin this new year talking about my favorite book, but continuing in my endless reflection about serving God with real and sincere commitment. A lot it is had seen on people that say to serve God, but their attitudes pass far away from those waited of a true servant of God.
The key word in the verse 14 of Isaiah 29 is "fake." The dictionary defines this word as: "people that say a thing, but their attitudes demonstrate another thing."
One of the things that God more it condemns is the falsehood. Isaiah chapter 1 verse 13 says: "and there is nothing to hate as much as a fake religion."
God wants sincere worshipers and followers.
Making a comparative we will see:
Friend x Enemy
On your side Against you
Supports you Combats you
Guides you Deceives you
Leads you to the victory Leads you to the defeats
Cure hurts Hurts you
It leads you to the life It leads you to the death
But which the attitudes and actions that characterize a person that has God as her enemy? Isaiah 29:13 bring some.
1. To say that is mine, but not to obey me – these people are characterized mainly by not obeying to the commandments of God. They love God only with words.
2. To have the heart far away from God – The more far away from God it is the man's heart, denser they will be the darkness of his life.
3. To follow a group of laws in a legalistic religion – A religion that only makes to impose rules to the man will never have sincere followers, he will just have slaves. God doesn't want robots, for this He created the man with the free will. Instead of this God wants the man to love him.
When did they ask Jesus which the largest commandment the than it was that He answered? "The largest commandment is to love to God of the whole heart, soul and understanding", this that Jesus said was. To love God above anything, this is the key to have God as friend.
If you love God above anything, He will be much more important in his life of what your religion, your faiths, that dogmas. He will be more important for you than any spiritual leader, that Maria or any saint or famous shepherd. Nothing will have more value for you of what to please that to who you so much owner.
Instead of this you can say that loves him and to continue putting other things or people in prominence in your life, but there God won't be in friend's position in your life and yes on the other side.
The choice is yours! Friend or enemy?
See you!
