Isaiah chapter 3 verse 8

for Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen

because their speech and their deeds are against the Lord,

defying his glorious presence. Did you hear that language?

Let that soak in.

This is God talking about the sin of his people in Jerusalem,

Judah, how they stumbled and fallen because their speech and their deeds are against God defying his

glorious presence. I read that and I think, how can my speech be against God and defy his glorious

presence?

How can my deeds be against God and defy his glorious presence?

This is a picture of sin and the seriousness of sin when we say something to someone else that's not

edifying to them.

We are using speech that it's against God that's defying his

glorious presence. When we do something that we think, oh, it's small, it's not that big a deal, it's just a small

sin, no, it's a deed done against God defying his glorious presence.

And I read this and I just want to lead us to pray that our speech today and our deeds would be not against the Lord but for the

Lord everything we say and everything we do instead of our speech and deeds

defying his glorious presence that our speech and deeds

would magnify and honor and revere and point people to his glorious presence.

Wow, just think about that.

Your speech and your deeds today
