For Tuesday, March 12, 2024:
Isaiah 8:17 NLT: “I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the descendants of Jacob. I will put my trust in him.”
There are times when God’s people no longer prioritize the Lord. Let me be clear: This is not a good thing! Turning your back on God means you will no longer be under his hand of protection. Apparently, the people of Syria, Israel, and Judah chose to put God on the back burner. It would not go well for them.
Nothing could stop the Assyrian army because God was using them to get his people back on track. Syria, Israel, and Judah tried to gird themselves against the imminent attack, but to no avail.
Our take-away from this scenario is that we should fear God, not Assyria. Fear God, and not the catastrophe threatening your life. No matter what is happening, I can assure you that the Lord is bigger and more powerful – and a much better choice! God can out-live any problem you may encounter. Our enemies will die, but God is eternal!
The Lord will never leave you or forsake you! So do not leave him or forsake him!
