Isaiah - Verse By Verse

Scripture:  Isaiah 1:9 (NIV):  "Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah."

Thought:  To me, people seem casually indifferent to the fact that God has intervened to save them.

Question:  Am I one of God's "survivors"?

We are on our way to this destructive "fire and brimstone" unless God intervenes.  We cannot save ourselves.  Sodom and Gomorrah burned.  So will we without God's intervention.  But God does intervene.  He preserves a "remnant" of His people--"some survivors."  But the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah is the kind of end satan and all he owns will experience, "unless the LORD Almighty..." 

A few "survivors", a remnant, can turn the world upside down.  Christ will live again even though He may ocupy the hearts of only a handful, or even half a handful, of believers.  Salvation is entirely of God.  We see this here:  "the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors."  We contribute nothing to it.  God has acted to rescue us.  Thank goodness He has!

Prayer:  LORD Almighty, thank You for leaving some survivors, some believers, down through all the ages.  You are so faithful to us!  Amen.
