13 My own hand laid the foundations of the earth,
and my right hand spread out the heavens;
when I summon them,
they all stand up together.
14 “Come together, all of you, and listen:
Which of the idols has foretold these things?
The Lord’s chosen ally
will carry out his purpose against Babylon;
his arm will be against the Babylonians.[a]
15 I, even I, have spoken;
yes, I have called him.
I will bring him,
and he will succeed in his mission. Isaiah 48:13-15
Who do you have as an ally? Is it someone you trust and have confidence in to keep you accountable for what you should be doing? In wars, countries have allies to help and support them. The allies from WW2 were fighting against an unimaginable evil that destroyed the lives of people and in the end, that evil enemy was destroyed. But there were many people who fought on the enemy's side that were only doing it to preserve their own life. There is not much difference between being an ally in a war and an ally in someone's life. When you are someone's ally in life, hopefully you are fighting for someone to be better and not be on the wrong side of a war. We have battles each day in our lives, and we need to remember we don't have to fight those battles alone. We need to align ourselves with God's teaching, be around people who want to make a difference and finish the mission that God has sent us forth to accomplish. We can't accomplish life without allies, you just have to remember which allies you will align with to succeed.
Have a great weekend.
