TEXT: Isaiah
2:1-11
1. The
word [from God] which Isaiah son of Amoz saw [in a vision] concerning [the
nation of] Judah and [its capital city] Jerusalem.
2. Now
it will come to pass that In the last days The mountain of the house of the
LORD will be [firmly] established as the highest of the mountains, And will be
exalted above the hills; and all the nations will stream to it.
3. And
many peoples shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the
LORD, To the house (temple) of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us His ways
And that we may walk in His ways And that we may walk in His paths.” For the
law will go out from Zion And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4. And
He will judge between the nations, And will meditate [disputes] for many
peoples; And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up the sword against nation, And never
again will they learn war.
5. O
house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6.
Most certainly, [LORD] You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled with influences from the east, And they are soothsayers
[who foretell] bargains with the children of foreigners (pagans).
7.
Their land has also been filled with silver and gold And there is no end to
their treasures; Their land has also been filled with horses And there is no
end to their chariots.
8.
Their land has also been filled with idols; They worship the work of their
hands, That which their own fingers have made.
9. So
the common man has been humbled [before idols] And the man of importance has
been degraded, Therefore do not forgive them [O LORD].
10. Go
among the rocks and hide in the dust From the terror of the LORD and from the
splendor of His majesty.
11. The
proud look of man will be degraded And the arrogance of men will be humbled,
And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
(Amplified
Holy Bible)
TOPIC: WALKING
IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD
Mr. Luke was a church elder
who participated in its activities but lost his job as a result of corrupt
practices in his office. Isaiah warns against living lives that are opposed to
Christ’s and enlightens us about future happenings.
Judgment is coming and only
those who live their lives to the glory of God would have the opportunity to
reign with Him.
God wants us to walk in the
light to avoid the judgment prepared for the disobedient. We must do away with
anything ungodly in our lives so that we would not be condemned.
QUESTION: Is
there a difference between your lifestyle and that of an unbeliever?
PRAYER:
Precious Father, please help me to live in righteousness and never bend to the
dictates of the world, Amen.
Remain
Blessed
