Isaiah 31 - Praying God's Word

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~”
