Today's Daily Lesson comes from Isaiah 50 verse 11:
But all of you are kindlers of fire,
lighters of firebrands.
Walk in the flame of your fire,
and among the brands that you have kindled!
This is what you shall have from my hand:
you shall lie down in torment.
How should an arsonist be surprised when he burns the forest down?
How can those who sowed seeds of insurrection and aspersion be surprised when the wind casts the harvest all the way to the Capitol steps, and even further?
Those who play with fire are bound to get burned. So ignorance is really no excuse.
It is 2021, but it was said as plain as day two and a half millennia ago:
They who sow the wind reap the whirlwind; and the lighters of the firebrands will walk in the flames of their own doing.
It's in the Bible. May God give us not only eyes to read but also hearts to understand.
