"Are you afraid of these idols? Do they terrify you? Is that why you have lied to me and forgotten me and my words? Is it because of my long silence that you no longer fear me?" ~Isaiah 57:11, NLT
God is speaking to Israel in these verses, asking them why they are no longer faithful to Him. "Are you afraid of those fakes?" He asks mockingly, "Do they terrify you? Are they the reason you stopped obeying me? Did they turn you into cowards, unable to hear my voice?"
The truth is, we have more to fear in God than anything else. Just because we can't hear or don't see Him doesn't mean He's disappeared, and He's always watching. He's always there. He promises not to leave us - but we do not make that same promise. We must remember that we've got nothing to fear when we're with God - not idols, not enemies, not death nor anything. God is our protector, God's words are what will last forever, along with our souls.
