Thursday, September 15: Isaiah 19- No idle threats

I began thinking about all these prophecies of doom and destruction….Assyria, Cush, Egypt, Philistia, Moab, Damascus. As great as that region of the world once was, today most of that region is little above nothing. They are no major players on the world stage. They are not cultural icons in our world. They are constantly fighting and bickering and most of the countries in this region oppress their people. Only oil found in some of those countries causes the region to be of world interest/influence.  And for how long???

These once great nations, filled with culture and beauty, have never ascended to prominence again…

The Lord’s judgments about which we have been reading, came to be…

Hmmm… I thought; the Words of Scripture and the judgments of God are not idle threats.

Am I (are you) taking God’s Word seriously???

Are you living in relationship with the Lord, or are you living a live that will reap God’s judgment? Faith in Jesus, believing in Jesus makes the difference.  Have you put your trust and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life? Think about it…

Yes, Jesus, I believe in You, the Father and the Holy Spirit. And, yes, I confess You to be Lord God Almighty and the Lord God and Savior of my life! Amen.
