Unshakable History

[Christ4Ever]

Who will hear these lessons from the past and see the ruin that awaits you in the future? Isaiah 42:23 NLT

Isaiah prophesied about the human inability to learn from the past—the tendency to repeat poor decisions and to rely on human reasoning that so often leads to personal and financial ruin. He knew it didn’t have to be this way.

Paul wrote to the church in Galatia about the same frustration: “I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ” (Galatians 1:6-7). The Galatians had begun adding to their faith a historically failed philosophy within Gnosticism that said truth is whatever you make it. Contemporary Christianity suffers from similar ideas.

One of the best ways to avoid personal failure is to study the social and individual failures in the Bible’s historical records. Those stories can help you “follow the steps of the good, and stay on the paths of the righteous” (Proverbs 2:20).

Prayer: Father, help me to understand the relationship between history and my life so that I can “hear these lessons from the past” and see better days.

Humanity on some level is stupid in this regard.
As of late look how a "certain moronic group" wants to erase American history.
"Offended" by names and words. Wants to change the names of buildings and places b/c they are weak and pathetic.
Weak people want to erase the past b/c they can't handle the truth. They can only function in their subjective, made up reality. Anyone who threatens that fragile reality is named as a "threat".
"There are those who are so dependent on the System, they'll do anything to protect it."
