Isaiah 31 - 34 (23rd July) - Xiao Woon

Isaiah 31

1 What sorrow awaits those who look to Egypt for help, trusting their horses, chariots, and charioteers and depending on the strength of human armies instead of looking to the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

Do you trust in the things of this world and not in God? Very often, we always trust in the things we physically see and hear when in fact we should be putting our trust on what we see and hear in the spiritual realm. Let us be sensitive to see and hear the things of the Lord, instead of the things of the world.

Isaiah 32

9 Listen, you women who lie around in ease. Listen to me, you who are so smug.

Are you living in your own comfort zones? If you are, it’s time you move out of your comfort zones to serve and do God’s work if not you will be complacent and be cursed. Repent before the Lord of any complacency today and God’s Spirit will be poured out from Heaven.

17 And this righteousness will bring peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever.

Thank God that He sent Jesus to die on the cross for us, and credit to us, righteousness. Let’s thank God for the peace and confidence that we can have in Him=)

Isaiah 33

1 What sorrow awaits you Assyrians, who have destroyed others but have never been destroyed yourselves. You betray others, but you have never been betrayed. When you are done destroying, you will be destroyed. When you are done betraying, you will be betrayed.

Do onto others what you want others to do onto you, for what bad that you do onto others, it shall come to you as well.

Isaiah 34

Let us not take God’s grace and mercy for granted for one day there shall come the day when there will be no more grace and mercy onto us.
