Isaiah - Day 95
versebyverse | September 09, 2008 22:36
Scripture: Isaiah 5:15 (NIV): "So man will be brought low and mankind humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled."
Thought: To me, mankind could definitely use a good humbling!
Question: Do I have a clean fear of the Lord?
The Lord's Day will exalt the LORD; therefore it must also humble those who oppose God. Eyes need to see God in a new, clear way, in order to be truly humbled. God will accomplish that Himself--making Himself visible through judgmental "woes". Finally, they will see God.
There is so much pride in mankind--so much independence from God. Today we are characterized by an almost complete lack of fear of God. We have forgotten Who He really is. God has given us so much comfortable ease in our living; we have become like a spoiled, indulged child. We have no respect for His authority, no sense of His power. All we perceive, like a child, is our next burning desire: when will we get what we want? We are blind to the coming of the Day of the Lord! But it will come, whether we are ready or not, and it will indeed be a Day of humbling!
Prayer: Lord, keep me humble before You. Make me to see Your power. Cause me to respect You and fear You appropriately, before Your Day brings its woes to the disobedient and rebellious! Amen.
