Devotion for the First Friday in Advent

December 2, 2011 by Lillie 

Isaiah 5:20-23 (ESV)

20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight! 22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink, 23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right!

Heavenly Father, guide our footsteps in Your wayl Guard our thoughts and words so we do not call evil good and good evil. Remind us not to be wise in our own eyes, but to turn to You and You alone for help and salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
