“What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter” (Isaiah 5:20 NLT).

UPSIDE-DOWN MORALITY—THE SIGN OF IMPENDING WOE

The Lord declared impending judgment on Judah through the prophet Isaiah for their rejection of His law and the confounding of His Word. For their thinking had become so warped by sin that they called evil— good, darkness— light and bitterness— sweet. A nation with such an upside-down morality will not long stand, even one that began as God’s chosen. Yet God still loved Judah. This was why He sent them prophets such as Isaiah to warn them, so that they might repent.
 
Do you see a similar tendency towards an upside-down morality in our culture today?
 
PRAYER: Dear Father, we pray for our nation and for the generations that follow, that revival would come on our land and that the Good News would be heard and believed. Send preachers like Isaiah that will boldly declare Your Word. Give the people open ears to hear. Let Your Spirit move, so that we see a great spiritual awakening. In Jesus’ name, amen.
