Isaiah 8:10-17 . . . God is with us. For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. But the Lord of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many shall stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.”
Bind up the testimony; seal the teaching among my disciples. I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.
Observation & Application
These readings in Isaiah sounds like present day happenings. I'm hearing words like, conspiracy, fear, dread . . . but God says don't follow what the people are doing or saying! Remember! God is with us. Fear God, honor and respect, and worship Him! He is your hiding place, your sanctuary, your hope! Stay your ground and read and study the Word. Preserve the teachings of scripture! Look to the Lord in times of trouble!
Prayer
Father God, I trust in You. My hope is in You. Whom then, shall I fear? You alone I look to, and I wait for You. I honor You and give You all my heart devotion. I worship and reverence Your Holy Name, the Name above all names. I choose You to be my hiding place and I stand my ground with the help of Your Holy Spirit power, Your strength. I will do what You ask or require, and what you speak to me. I will keep the teachings in scripture; to study, read, search, learn, and obey, and share with others the truths in Your word. In Jesus Name, for Your glory! A-men.
2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
