Preaching and Reading the Old Testament Lessons:
In the prophecies of Second Isaiah, the Lord God declares, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" (Isaiah 55:8), and how true that is of the God to whom the Bible witnesses! In our society, we adulate those whom we think are successful or talented or distinguished in some way. Many teenagers look up to a famous sports figure and try to imitate him on their own playing fields. Many viewers tune into the television program that interviews someone who is famous and rich.
