Please read Isaiah 31.
Meditate on verse 1.
Woe to those who go down to Egypt
for help and rely on horses,
and trust in chariots
because they are many
and in horsemen
because they are very strong,
but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel,
nor seek the LORD!
In the first
part of Isaiah, God declared oracles (His burdens) for the people. In this
section of Isaiah, the LORD pronounced woes on them. A “woe” from the LORD
implies great disapproval. You do not want to get “woe-d” by God.
Take heed to
the Word of the LORD. Placing your trust, reliance, and confidence in anyone or
anything more than Almighty God will always be met with a “woe” from Him.
Trusting in anything besides God to save you is idolatry, and the LORD will not
put up with it.
Examine your
life. In whom or what do you put your trust? From the salvation of your soul to
the decision of what to do in the next five minutes, on what or whom are you
relying?
Pray Isaiah
31:6 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful
watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, may ________ and I return to You
from whom we have deeply defected.
In Your name, Jesus~”
