Isaiah 63:10-14 -- Remember when

If you read Isaiah 63:11-14 you'll see tremendous testimonies of remembering when the Holy Spirit really worked in the lives of the Jewish people so the question is:

 "What went wrong?"

...and the answer is found in verse 10 "The Lord's people turned against Him and made his Holy Spirit sad.  So he became their enemy and attacked them."

Have you ever had a tremendous experience with God working and then everything seemed to go wrong? In Job's case it seemed that God allowed satan to test Job to show satan what Job was really made of but in today's reading it implies that sometimes things go wrong because we turn against God.  This begs the question:

"What does it mean to turn against God?"

  • Are we jealous or envious of how God is working in someone else's life?
  • Are we no longer dependent on God?
  • Are we taking the credit for the work of the Holy Spirit?
  • Are we freaking out because God is working in ways that we no longer have any control over?
  • Are we too proud to admit that we were wrong?
