Green Verses: a series which seeks to highlight scriptures that point to God as the Creator, His sovereignty over the earth, His redemption of the earth, and our call to participate in that redemption. Take a moment and reflect on what God might be saying through His Word.

 

Isaiah 24:4-6

The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers; the heavens languish together with the earth. The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt; therefore the inhabitants of the earth dwindled, and few people are left.

 

It is hard to read scripture like this. But it is important to take a look at them as well. Even if you read this as applying only to the original audience, there are some sobering thoughts here that we should take to heart. It is interesting to see the connection between the curse and the destruction of the earth. What does this say to us today?
