Isaiah 63:10 Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them

In the United States, Benedict Arnold has become the poster child for traitors, not because he fought for the British, but because he did so after fighting brilliantly for America.

A monument at Saratoga National Park honors his brave role in that pivotal campaign but never mentions him by name. Ambition and pride turned a hero into a byword.

As the prophet Isaiah proclaimed, God went from being the best ally of His people to being their worst enemy. And yet He is no traitor. Why? Because His people were the ones who betrayed Him.

Do you feel that God is far from you? Have you wondered sometimes if He is fighting against you? Maybe you have friends or loved ones who complain that God has turned His back on them.

Be certain my friend that God is not the traitor. He always remains true, even if that means He has to fight against those who rebel against Him.

Thought for Today: Only you can decide if God is your best ally or your worst enemy.
