Isaiah 65:3 A people who provoke Me to anger continually to My face; Who sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense on altars of brick;
Many times in the Old Testament we find the prophets having to give harsh words to the people to remind them of who God is!
Despite all of the history and how the Jews tried to ensure God’s Word was always remembered, many times the prophets came back with words like these.
This is not limited to history books or ancient times; we are much the same still. We continue to make things happen according to our own ways and leave God out of it.
Make sure you try to include God in everything you do!
