Looking to the Earth For Answers

Isaiah 8:22 - "Then they will look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be driven away into darkness."

The days grow darker as Mankind continues to look toward the earth instead of heaven for help. In this day of environmental concerns and "loving the planet" we have forgotten Who made this orb, and to Whom we owe our first allegiance. We have turned our hopes to New Age philosophies and humanistic answers born in the bowels of the earth rather than in the One who created it all. The absurdity of putting our hope in creation rather than the Creator is not a new dilemma, but one that has been around for millennia (Romans 1:25).

Just as those who are born of the Light are drawn to His marvelous light, those born of darkness will be driven further to the darkness. Their choice is abstentious of righteousness by not choosing the Creator rather than embracing His creation. Professing to be wise, they have become fools. May we all submit to the Light and not be driven to our own insanity by those who rule the darkness.
