Much like the Israelites, we often exclude God from our daily lives. Even as we exclude him, we then are prone to blame him for the messes we make and get angry at him for not intervening as we’d like. A passage in Isaiah 8 reveals God’s response to a world that rejects him and is subsequently angry with him—he sends us a Messiah. Despite our mess collectively and your mess individually, Jesus, our wonderful counselor, came anyway. Take Jesus’s yolk upon you and trust his wonderful wisdom.
