SCRIPTURE

Studied: Isaiah 3

OBSERVATION

Isaiah 3:8-9 ~ … you rebelled against your glorious LORD– your words and your actions, made you stumble and fall. The look on your faces shows that you are sinful as Sodom, and you don’t try to hide it. You are in for trouble, and you have brought it all on yourselves.

APPLICATION

1. If I hadn’t read the whole passage, I would have thought that this passage was addressed to the church of today. However the thing that I am reminded of is that God has placed this passage in His Word so that it may speak to His people reading His Word at any time, especially today. So as I read this I was specifically challenged with the thought that I, my family, my Christian friends and my church, must be cautious about following God’s Word so that we may not stumble and fall. God has a warning for us and this is in spite of us being given His guide book to direct us and show us the way.
   

PRAYER

1. Lord, may I be smart enough to follow Your instructions and do Your will in everything that I attempt. Thank You for providing your guidebook for me and giving me the understanding to follow Your instructions. Please give me the boldness and wisdom to follow Your will each and every day so that I may avoid the ‘trouble’ that You speak of in this verse. Please help me to be proactive in studying Your Word daily so that I may be well equipped with Your instruction and therefore avoid bringing trouble on myself. May I be an influence to others as I accomplish Your will, is my sincere prayer today.
