What Pressure Reveals About Us
Hi GAMErs!
Today’s passage is Isaiah 2:6-22. Let’s go!
Isaiah 2:6-22 (NIV)
6 You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob. They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and clasp hands with pagans.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold; there is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots.
8 Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
9 So man will be brought low and mankind humbled– do not forgive them.
On verses 6-22: When my sister and I were much younger, we would take a bunch of our favourite stuffed animals, put them on a large blanket, and with a hand on each corner of the blanket, we would shake the blanket up and down. The animals would bounce high in the air before coming down either back onto the blanket or onto the ground. We would keep shaking that blanket until only one animal was left on the blanket, and that surviving animal we called the winner of our “animal battle royal”.
