Isaiah 15-17

"You have forgotten God your Savior; you have not remembered the Rock, your fortress. Therefore, though you set out the finest plants and plant imported vines, though on the day you set them out, you make them grow, and on the morning when you plant them, you bring them to bud, yet the harvest will be as nothing in the day of disease and incurable pain."

This is part of what Isaiah prophesied against Damascus. It shows how everything we plan and labor will come to nothing if we don't do it for God. The bible says that we should study, eat, work, and do everything for God and his glory because that's why we were created. Once we start living for our own pleasure, success, and desires, God is going to be against us and make our life futile. Often times God cannot use us because we are too strong. We are so wise in our own eyes. God wants us to depend on him everyday, every moment in our life.

Let us make God our Savior, Rock, and fortress. We've been saying this so many times, but I think it's always a good reminder. God desires us more than anything in this world. Let us draw closer to God by trusting him wholeheartedly and laying down all our burdens and worries. And let us live this day for God and others through the power of the Holy Spirit.
