Anyone Who Renounces Evil Is Attacked….

Over 2600 years ago Isaiah wrote this. Seems like modern day America, doesn’t it? Time goes by, things change, but people remain the same, sinful at the core. When society ignores God, there cannot be peace. Without Jesus, there is no rest. Without God, there is no justice. Without the Holy Spirit, there is not honesty, truth, or righteousness. Without God, there is no salvation. The world's ways contradict God's ways, so how can anyone experience Godly blessings when it's choosing ways that leave Him out?

8 They don’t know where to find peace or what it means to be just and good.They have mapped out crooked roads,and no one who follows them knows a moment’s peace. 9 So there is no justice among us, and we know nothing about right living. We look for light but find only darkness. We look for bright skies but walk in gloom.10 We grope like the blind along a wall, feeling our way like people without eyes. Even at brightest noontime, we stumble as though it were dark. Among the living, we are like the dead.11 We growl like hungry bears; we moan like mournful doves. We look for justice, but it never comes. We look for rescue, but it is far away from us.12 For our sins are piled up before God and testify against us. Yes, we know what sinners we are.13 We know we have rebelled and have denied the Lord.We have turned our backs on our God.We know how unfair and oppressive we have been, carefully planning our deceitful lies.14 Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets,and honesty has been outlawed.15 Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked. The Lord looked and was displeasedto find there was no justice. Isaiah 59:8-15
