Read: Isaiah 2:12-22(NKJV)
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts Shall come upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up– And it shall be brought low–
13 Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 Upon all the high mountains, And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 Upon every high tower, And upon every fortified wall;
16 Upon all the ships of Tarshish, And upon all the beautiful sloops.
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18 But the idols He shall utterly abolish.
19 They shall go into the holes of the rocks, And into the caves of the earth, From the terror of the Lord And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver And his idols of gold, Which they made, each for himself to worship, To the moles and bats,
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, And into the crags of the rugged rocks, From the terror of the Lord And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
22 Sever yourselves from such a man, Whose breath is in his nostrils; For of what account is he?
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 23RD JANUARY 2025.
Israel and Judah had always hoped for the time when God would give them victory over all their enemies. Isaiah warned them that before God would act against their enemies, He would act against them. All the things they proudly trusted in for security, whether natural resources, defence fortifications, or prosperous trade, would be destroyed. Arrogance, self-confidence, or devotion to idols will not save them. On the day of God’s judgement, people will see the worthlessness and uselessness of putting confidence in the things they trusted in. They will flee in a last, desperate effort for safety.
Sometimes, it seems as though those who do evil and rebel against God in pride and arrogance are getting away with their actions (Psalm 73:2-3; Habakkuk 1:2-4). The arrogant may tell themselves they have won and will never be brought down (Psalm 10:11; 115:2); they seem to be winning. However, Isaiah assures us that sin may seem to pay off, at first, but there will always be consequences. Are there things in your life that make you glory in the flesh? Remember that when the day of the Lord comes, every form of pride will be destroyed. A man of pride will not stand before the Lord. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, so that he will lift you up in due season.
PRAYER:
O Lord, please give me grace to humble myself before you, Amen!
