I kind of wish I had given this message a different title and a slightly different approach.
I handled it negatively... what are God's observations about idolatry. But I could have taken the more positive approach - how we can be right with God even though we are idolaters at heart.
My favorite verse in this passage is this: Isaiah 57:15
15For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Isn't that great? The exalted God dwells in the "high and holy place" - of course!
But also "with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit..."
How beautiful.
How comforting.
